I'd like to share with you today a gift idea I learned from Ruthie over at September Ninth, and her second day of My Creative Time 12 Days Of Christmas.
Start out with a bottle of hand soap, or any kind of clear bottle doesn't have to be hand soap, I was even thinking you could do this with body splash etc. But for this project, I chose the lime green, Cool Cucumber scented hand soap for my project.
Now here's a tip: When choosing your soap bottles, think about the labels that are adhered to them. These bottles, had a clear plastic sticker on one side and a paper sticker on the other. The clear plastic sticker came off pretty easy, but the paper sticker was a little more stubborn. We, I say, WE, because hubby helped :-) with the Goo Gone to get the sticker off. I have to say I've never used Goo Gone before...so just make sure you leave yourself some time to work off the stickers. Once that's done this project is a breeze.
Cut a few strips, measuring the size of your bottle, cut it short of course so it will fit. The stamp I used for my image is from MCT It's a Magical Season stamp set.
I had a few that my stamp slipped...it's very slippery on this film...you can see in the picture above the last part of Season is a little 'thick' where it slipped a little. But I think it's still usable. Once your image is stamped on the film, let it dry for a few minutes. Then remove the spout of your bottle, and roll your film a little so that it can slip into the bottle. Use the spout if you need to move it around. And place your spout behind the image. Viola! A great Christmas Gift!
That's it for today. Chao! --C
