I have a habit of holding onto old food jars and bottles. I clean them out, peel off the labels and then wait for inspiration to strike. Since my countdown to Spring has begun, I decided to make some cheery Spring/Easter bottles. I printed my images onto label paper, so I just had to peel and stick.
