D.I.Y Vintage Apothecary Bottles - Free Labels | June 15, 2009
Inspired by vintage apothecary labels, I designed my own decorative labels for these beautiful glass bottles from Ikea. ($16.95 AUD for pack of 3). I've supplied free templates of these labels for you to download.
Instructions: Print out onto glossy white stock and cut around the edge of the labels. To stick them onto the bottles, I've used double-sided tape.
These bottles can even be used as flower vases as part of table centerpieces.
They also look stunning displayed with backlight from a window.

I was just literally typing "I always eye up those bottles big time at Ikea" and then saw someone else already said it. I then realized that person was Beth. Maybe the fact that we go to Ikea together and eye those bottles up together has something to do with it.
Now that you've made these beautiful labels, I think we have an excuse to actually buy them. You in, Beth?
Thanks for the printable labels!

Thanks to all for the lovely comments!
I was also wondering where to find some nice bottles to use, and will try IKEA.
Thanks very much for the added inspiration! :)
I love your labels. I see that they're not available for commercial use..
I'm actually looking for some sort of label template or DIY label program (that's easy for non-graphic artists) to use for homemade products I make. I wanted to take a stab at trying to sell some of them.
Do you have any ideas on where I could find something like that?
Thank you so much!

I just wanted to know whether you can provide the actual border for the labels that are blank? In particular the Tonic label?
Would love to customise the label but I just can't seem to find a blank label template with just the border shape.
Thank you!
Thanks so much for the labels. They're wonderful!
I had trouble finding them too, but I eventually realized that they were not in the marketplace area like I expected. At my IKEA they were tucked into a corner near the bathroom showroom stuff. Some of the bottles are sold with a soap pumper and a soap dish, so I guess that makes sense.

Instead of double stick tape, could you use glossy waterproof (inkjet) labels like this: http://www.onlinelabels.com/OL177.htm? Then cut out the design?
I think they would make fantastic tags as well as labels too.

Serán para la alacena y baño de mi hijo :)
These are absolutely superb and exactly what one imagines would have been the style used. I'd like to ask what is the graphic/shape used to create the boundary lines above and below the word SYRUP?
Thanks.
I found this while looking for "Eat Me" print outs that I could stick to toothpicks for an Alice in Wonderland themed party I'm hosting soon
I loved these labels so much (I hope you don't mind), I took them to photoshop and customized these to say "Eat Me". I love them so much, thank you for putting such awesome content up!
