Vintage Spring Art Free Printable Collection
This Vintage Spring Art Printable Collection is part of The Four Seasons Printable Collection of FREE printables I’m sharing today in collaboration with several of my amazing blogger friends! Be sure to collect them all at the bottom of this post!
Vintage printables is such an easy way and affordable way to decorate seasonally. I love to add vintage printables in frames to hang on the wall or to tuck in vignettes throughout my home. Some of them that I have I use year round, while others are beautiful seasonal prints that I can easily switch out for the seasons.
Where To Find Vintage Printables
One place to find vintage printables is on Etsy. You search vintage printables and you’ll find pages and pages of them. You an even narrow down the search by season, for example Vintage spring printables.
You can even find a selection of vintage printables in my digital print shop HERE. The ones that are in my print shop come in a variety of sizes ranging from a 5×7 up to a 24×36! Simply download, print then frame for easy peasy seasonal decorating!
There is a vast library of free art on public domain. You can also search a public domain artwork over 100 years old that anyone can print and use! The artwork on public domain websites like art museums and WikiMedia is the original artwork which may differ slightly from when it’s digitally enhanced.
Use Watercolor Paper
One that I like to do when printing smaller 5×7 or 8×10 vintage prints at home is to use watercolor paper. It gives the print more of authentic look.
Just be sure your printer will print a thicker paper like watercolor paper to avoid any paper jams.
Also you may need to trim the watercolor paper down to 8.5×11 to fit a standard printer.
Vintage Art with Mod Podge
Another way to achieve a vintage look to artwork is to add brush strokes to the prints with Mod Podge.
I like to use matte Mod Podge and I go back and forth with small strokes over the print. The smaller strokes over the image the better for more of a painted look or even try to follow the brush strokes of the artist!
This works best of heavyweight paper. You will want to test it out first to avoid any smearing of the ink. I have a laser jet printer and I’ve even done this with even with cardstock. As long as you don’t saturate the paper too much with Mod Podge your paper won’t wrinkle too much. I actually don’t mind if the paper wrinkles a bit when I add the Mod Podge, I feel it gives it more of an authentic old look.
