Learn how to make some amazing DIY vintage stickers using 3 types of paper …and some coffee (to give the stickers a beautiful, antiqued look)
Hello, friends! Today’s project will rapidly become one of your favorite projects, especially if you are a doer like me and you love being in control when in comes to creating your own stuff! This is generally speaking, but moreover you will love this project if you have somehow already discovered the magic world of planning / organizing, journaling, scrapbooking or any other similar fun alternatives.
I wanted you to always have on hand a beautiful set of DIY vintage stickers that will not limit you in any way, but will help you unleash your creative self instead! So I experimented with 3 types of paper just to give you the insights and I created 3 different printables, with over 100 different sized amazing images! I tried including images that would fit any desires and needs, so let’s just call these … the vintage stickers of your dreams! :)
I started a bullet journal a few months ago so I created these DIY vintage stickers having that specific organizing tool in mind. But with so many beautiful different images available, why stop there, right? :) I’m sure you’ll find quite a few other ways of getting creative and using these beauties, just spot some jars, cups, bottles, small boxes, pots or any other objects that need a little bit of vamping and use these stickers … to show them some love!
I mentioned a bullet journal earlier, are you familiar with this type of planner? If not, let me just quickly tell you that the bullet journal is a system created by Ryder Carroll that will help you ‘Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future‘. You can learn more about it here, this thing has been my absolute revelation this year! But what I love most about this type of planner? It perfectly combines the need of organizing with the need of getting creative! I will tell you more about it in a future post as this thing has now become such an important thing of my life. I will even share (soon, soon) a few printables that will help you start your first bullet journal too … or beautifully organize the one that you have, if you are already using one.
Back to today’s project, I have to tell you that this is a highly adaptable and versatile project. These DIY vintage stickers will be a great addition to your bullet journal or any other projects. They are divided into three categories – objects, botanicals, dividers & embellishments and will be the base that will only open up a whole new world of further experimenting.
You can use the DIY vintage stickers as they are or use coffee to stain them and take them to the next level!
You can even turn them into ‘coloring pages’ stickers and use one or two colors (pens, colored pencils, watercolors) … and your imagination to beautifully ‘doodle’ your way through your bullet journal :)
The images are quite stunning on their own, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add your personal touches to create something truly unique!
The sky is the limit when using these lovelies, the DIY vintage stickers can instantly transform and beautify any object!
And here below is a sneak peek on my actual bullet journal, can’t wait to show you more! :)

I have tried to open the vintage stickers in word to edit the ones I want to print and it doesn’t load properly, a lot of
Ⅲ1間ⅧⅢⅢⅢ川Ⅲ引ⅢⅢⅡ闇川Ⅷ. When I try to open in paint I get an error,” Paint cannot read this file.
This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported”. Was this file made this way or is there a problem with the file itself?
Diana / Dreams Factory
I hope you managed to eventually print the vintage stickers! :)
They come in a .pdf file and a .jpeg file, you will need Photoshop or other editing programs to make any changes.
