I love the look of vintage paper. It seems to be showing up more and more in the various crafts store. There seem to be a wonderful selection now days for crafters like me who do like this look. There are so many different uses for this type of paper. I like to use it to cover a box and add little touches to it such a ribbon, lace, maybe a small flower. They are also wonderful backgrounds for scrapbooking. Image a photo, a saying and a piece of tea dyed lace with the photo I used as the background. Beautiful! Do you like the vintage paper look? What would you use it for?

I remember holding paper over our stove so I could submit a phony diary page from the past, for a junior high school project. You know, trying to make it look old. Your ideas are all good. I'm not very crafty. My daughter fashions things like that, though. They have a nice extra room where she can do her scrapbooking.

You can also burn the edges a bit and glue it to a piece of stained decorative wood and seal it with a clear gloss or matt finish for a beautiful piece to hang on the wall. Lucky daughter to have a whole room to use for crafting.

I don't know about that but we had old papers out here but I haven't use them much.

I guess you wouldn't if you don't craft.

I just got in a set to make Vintage printed boxes in for review. I do love the vintage prints.

@HazySue I have bought some and for the moment I am keeping them because I like those papers so much that I do not want to use them.

@LadyDuck I know what you mean. I have some that I take out and just look at and enjoy.

I bet they love that. What a pretty wrapping paper that would make for a small gift.

I'd probably use it for scrap booking. That is pretty. Have a blessed day

It is, isn't it? I love the toned down quieter look of it.

It is very pretty I have never used it before for anything. I am not sure what I would do with it.

If you craft and like the vintage look you can frame it, use it as wrapping paper, cover a trinket box, and so many other things.
