Christmas is the one time of year when no one questions if you've gone a little overboard with decorations. Tinsel on the mantel? Absolutely. A garland in every room? Why not. Santa mugs for coffee, cocoa, and — let's be real — wine? Yes, please.

But here's the real holiday magic: free vintage Christmas printables. If you've been around a while, you know I love just about everything vintage — especially at Christmas! All year round, I'm on the hunt for anything antique Christmas to add to my home during the holidays. And as much as I love scouring the antique stores for vinatge ornaments or creepy old looking elves and Santas, I don't often love the pricetag that comes with them.

That's why I created these free public domain vintage art files. Just download, print and frame and you instantly have old-world charm to decorate your home without spending a dime. These free vintage Christmas prints look like they came straight from grandma's attic (minus the musty smell and cobwebs). Even better, you can download them right now and display them before the eggnog or cocoa runs out.

Tips for Making Free Vintage Christmas Art Look Luxe

Want these Christmas printables to look like they came from an art gallery and not your inkjet printer? Try these tricks:

Use heavy cardstock or photo paper: Regular copy paper won't do justice to these beauties.
Play with scale: Print oversized versions for dramatic impact, or mini versions for tree ornaments.
Go fancy with frames: Vintage-look frames (hello, thrift store scores!) make even free vintage Christmas art oil paintings look like they belong in a museum.
Order from professional print companies like: Artifact Uprising, Printique and Shutterfly.
