Remember this bottle carrier I picked up at Goodwill a few weeks ago?!  I gave it a spooky twist earlier this week. The creepy labels are actually from the Martha Stewart Living special edition Halloween issue.  Just scan them to your printer and print out.  I did mine on label paper, so I only had to cut, peel and stick. The striped straws are from Etsy.  I just love them!  I picked up the pencils...

Christmas Touches

Burlap Stocking

November 11, 2011 / BY Okio B Designs
Got to play Martha Stewart yesterday.  Well, not really but I did use the fabulous stocking template mentioned in the December issue of Martha Stewart Living.  You have to go to: marthastewart.com/stocking-template to download and print it, and then you get to make one of these: I used the larger template for this stocking.  I have been wanting to do a burlap stocking for the past two years.  I don't know why I never did one...
