If you’re looking for vintage bird illustrations to use in your creative projects, this free printable collection is a great resource. These antique-style images were sourced from a publication from 1892 and are perfect for junk journaling, art journaling, mixed media collage, scrapbooking, and other paper crafts.
Bird illustrations are a popular choice for crafters because they work well across many themes—nature, spring, growth, travel, or personal symbolism like freedom or change. These printable graphics are easy to integrate into a variety of projects, whether you're working on a nature-themed junk journal, creating ephemera pieces, or building a cohesive art journal spread.
1” x 2” Dominoes
Each printable sheet includes detailed illustrations in either full color or black and white. You can cut them out to make journaling cards, pockets, tags, or tuck spots. They're also ideal for layering with other vintage-style printables like postcards, floral designs, maps, or labels.
In mixed media collage, bird illustrations can be used as focal points or layered elements. Try printing them on different types of paper, such as vellum, for a different effect. Add them to altered books, memory pages, or a collaged canvas for a classic, vintage-inspired touch.
2” x 3” Journal Tags
For scrapbooking, these birds work well in layouts focused on outdoor experiences, gardening, travel, or even quiet everyday moments. The vintage style pairs beautifully with muted tones, natural textures, and distressed finishes.
All of the printables on TheArtScavenger.com are free to download and ready to print. These bird illustrations are sized for easy use in common journal formats and ideal for anyone who enjoys crafting with antique ephemera and natural imagery.
Tip: Print on cream or off-white paper for a more authentic aged look, or lightly ink the edges with distress ink to help them blend into your journal pages.
