Spooky Dollar Store Prayer Candles

September 03, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
The kiddos are officially back to school and I'm chomping at the bit to catch up on some crafting!  Garage sales were a bust this weekend so I looked in my crafting stash and pulled out two Dollar Store prayer candles. I wanted to make some spooky candles for Halloween - even though I have a bunch left over from last year.  First I wrapped some vintage book paper around each candle. Then I hand-stamped...

Hope everyone's holiday weekend is off to a great start!  It's a bit overcast here today but I am hoping to get some garage sales in.  In the meantime, here's a cute autumn/Halloween project I did earlier this week using an old tobacco tin.

First I cut some old dictionary paper to fit my frames.  I change out these frames every few months.  They've previously displayed Christmas, Valentine's Day, beachy, etc. themes.  And now it's time for Halloween! I used my Cricut and some black cardstock for my letters.  Since I only have the three frames, spelling...

Frenchie Necklaces

August 22, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
**Don't forget to enter my Country Living magazine book giveaway here!** It's a bit of a rainy, miserable kind of day here.  The kind of day when you don't feel guilty staying indoors.  While the boys were busy playing this morning, I broke out some jewelry pieces and whipped up these two necklaces. Each is backed with French book paper.  Then I added some of these lovely religious images.  For this piece, I added a...
