You can use word to create labels. There you can add the outlines by inserting shapes and clip art. If you look at my blogs it shows several bottles I created using just word and tea. If you need help just email me and I can forward you my templates and you can adjust them to your liking.

Those are great! I would like to know how you did the aged effect with tea please. Thank you! Spooky~

All you do is brew any tea. I usually use more than the recommended amount. Either double or tripple depending on how dark you want it. I then crumpled the paper up, then opened it up and crumpled it again. I then opened up the paper leaving a few peaks and valleys then put on a cookie sheet. Pouring the tea over the paper I let it sit for a while. Adding more tea or less depending on the color you want. After I removed it to a dry cookie sheet leaving it semi flat to dry. I sealed it with an acrylic based sealer you just brush on.

That is a whole lot easier than what I was thinking! Thank you!

For some variance and a more weathered look also consider buring the edges of some labels before sealing.

For burning the edges of paper, a woodburning tool works great! You get the same effect and don't have to worry about flames!!!
