Chocoholicmom they are FANTASTIC!!!!! :twisted:

Can I ask....how did you discolour the labels? When I printed mine, as I tried to dip them in tea water the ink ran and you couldn't read the writing :(

How did you manage to keep them legible :?: :?: :?:

Yors are SOOOOOO COOL !!!!!!!

Hi William, You asked about spell books...I haven't managed to make one yet but somewhere on this thread (at least I think it is on this one!) there is a fab link that someone has posted explaining exactly how to make one. The picture of the finished article is awesome!

:)

Hi britishwitch, I printed them out on plain paper and went over a couple of times, just dabbing with a tea bag, with the odd flake of coffee here and there on some. The spider in the web i just put in to the yahhoo pictures search engine spiders.gifs or webs.gifs and it popped up. if u cant find one pm me your email and ill send you what i have :)

Hi Chocoholicmom

Thanks....perhaps that was what I was doing wrong. I shouldn't have dipped them completely!

I will give them a go your way! Thanks too for the tip on the clip art...I will go away and have a look now!

:D

See..that's where I lack in making a good label...I can't make the borders etc. around the label.
Mine suck big time.

those look awesome..next year I'm going to take the time and do them right.
I tried tea dying my paper but it doesn't have the same effect and we don't drink coffee...lol..I do have some walnut ink but couldn't find it.

Next year!!! They'll be better!

chocoholicmom;

Great work!! I had a bit of a struggle with "aging" my paper, like Britishwitch. I'm tempted to start all over again, but we'll see how much time I have.

pumkinpye-dont be so hard on yourself.
The one on the blue bottle with the border & the nightmare potion-i got the link i think off this site somewhere-will have a look and let you know if i can find it. They had a few different ones.

Just thought I would tell you I have finally managed to finish a label that hasn't run and become illegable! As soon as I can, I will photograph it so you can see! Pum'kinpye & Chocoholicmom inspired me to get them finished as I was losing heart :?

Theirs looked so good! :D

One down..... quite a few more to go!!!

Chocmom -- those are great!
