Bunny Napkins

March 06, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
I picked up some plain white napkins at our local church thrift store last week.  I wanted to dress them up a bit, so I broke out the TAP paper again and came up with this sweet touch for Easter. I've used this image on several projects.  I bought it off Etsy a couple of years ago and I never get bored of it. I like that it's not overly Easter-ish, so I can use...

French Hens Grainsack Towel

March 04, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
Who doesn't love these grainsack towels from Ikea?  I was down to my last one this morning and wanted to give it a quick French-y look.  I flipped through my Pinterest pins and decided to use this great Three French Hens one. I'm pretty sure my sister Kathy (from CreativeHomeExpressions) has used this same image on some of her beautiful pillows.  It's so versatile - great for spring, fall and the holidays.   I used...

Upcycled Candle Tins

Friday's Thrifty Finds

February 28, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
I popped into our local Goodwill and church thrift store this morning.  Came home with some goodies for about $10. I'm hoping to give the laundry sign a spray paint makeover soon. It's still way too cold here to paint.  I'm also planning on adding a French image to it using TAP paper. The tins are actually citronella candles from Crate & Barrel.  They were 99 cents each.  I'm going to add a pretty image...

Bunny Banner

February 27, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
**There is still time to enter my giveaway here.** I've been wanting to make a fabric bunny banner for quite a while now.  Last night, I decided to give it a go using this great bunny silhouette from The Graphics Fairy. First thing I did was trace my pendants onto some muslin.  Then I printed out my image onto TAP (Transfer Artists Paper) paper.  It was the first time I've ever used it and I...
