Okio B Designs

A craft, food, fashion, home & shopping blog

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. 
I gave the taller one more of a rustic look with the twine and lace.  I added a pretty blue seam binding to the smaller one.
Both got rhinestone embellishments and are filled with faux moss. You probably can't tell but the smaller one has some Easter eggs in it.

Yup, I'm ready for Spring!

**Don't forget to enter my giveaway here.**

First, let me say I am not decorating for Easter already - although I'm itching to!  I stopped in my local Michael's over the weekend and came across these wood blocks in their bargain bins.  
Originally I wanted to spell out Spring.  No go; no G.  Plan B was to spell out Easter.  So that's what I'll be doing.
But not yet.  I swear!

Kiddies are off from school this week.  They just got back from a sleepover at Grandma's.  I'll probably be MIA for the remainder of the week.  =)

I know I'm not the only one in awe of Rosemary at Villa Barnes. She recently did a post on upcycling a can with a crinkle paint effect.  I loved the look so thought I would take a stab at it.
I didn't get the crinkle look I was hoping for like Rosemary did. Wondering if I added too much water to my glue?!  Still I love the overall look of my can.
I painted the can white (over the glue/water mixture).  Then I printed out the French script (from The Graphics Fairy) onto tissue paper and used Mod Podge to add it to the front of my can.
I'm definitely going to try this again because I do love the crinkle paint look Rosemary has mastered.  Check out her blog to see her other amazing projects and techniques!

So what do you do when you're snowed in yet again with more of the white stuff in the forecast?  In between climbing the walls, I made some Frenchy matchbooks.
I broke out some French paper and printed off these beautiful images from the Graphics Fairy.
Simple white matchbooks suddenly become more interesting and almost too pretty to use.
Of course the hubby isn't too pleased with his now "girly" matchbooks.
But to me they are just perfect!
