December 06, 2017 / BY Okio B Designs
I dressed up this mini pail with a free printable from On Sutton Place.  Sometimes I like to keep it simple.  I also used tea-stained seam binding, faux moss and one of my French script candles. Jeanine ...

~christmas touches~

November 28, 2017 / BY Okio B Designs
It's definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Okio B house! I actually started decorating inside a couple of weeks ago.  Yes, I am that person.  Ha ha.  A lot of the pieces and projects you've probably seen from past Christmas posts.  I switch things around though every year for a new look. There is a touch of Christmas in just about every room in the house. My hubby did the outside...

~scrabble ornaments~

Sharing a super easy Christmas ornament you can make in 15 minutes or less! I actually made these last year for a Christmas fair.  They went over really well, but I did have some leftovers.  All you need are some Jenga blocks, Scrabble tiles, a glue gun and wire (paint optional).

How excited were you when Target officially unveiled the Hearth & Hand line from Joanna and Chip Gaines?  I popped into our local store over the weekend and spied this pretty Merry & Bright framed print.  I loved the idea so much that I decided to make my own version. After finding this great wreath image from the Graphics Fairy, I got busy trying to find a similar font to use for my Merry &...

~goodbye halloween, hello christmas!~

November 05, 2017 / BY Okio B Designs
All of our Halloween decorations have been taken down and packed away.  I'm ready to roll for the Xmas season!  I actually started working on my first Xmas projects a couple of weeks ago - like these Scrabble tile desk sitters (currently for sale in my Etsy shop). And I finally got around to upcycling these cute angel ornaments.  It only took me a year, lol.  They were off-white with a bit of gold originally. ...
