But, I wanted to get something a little different for the teachers, so I chose the round bottles, which you can find the tutorial for the container I used at the Pink Buckaroo site I gave above. As with most projects, you can use someone's idea as inspiration, and then make it your own with your embellishments. Here's how mine turned out.
Here's a few "behind the scenes" shots of making this project. For the tags, I only have one size tag punch, but I like the layered look. So, I used the square punch to make a piece that fits nicely within the tag.
Also, I wanted to stamp "To" and "From", but I don't have a good Halloween tag stamp. So, I found a Christmas one that would fit on my tag, used my SU! black marker, and only colored in what I wanted to show up on the tag. Custom made! I thought I would share this because I have a friend that is just beginning stamping, and she asked a question about how to get different colors on stamps. As it turned out in that example, it was with markers. When you are use to doing something, you sometime think everyone just knows how to do it too!
Pop dots are used on the front embellishment along with googly eyes on the stamped images.
The round gels fit so nicely in the circle. In the tutorial, you will see that the 1 3/4" circle punch is used.
These were fun to make, and really don't take that long. I have a few more to make using the "regular" shape bottles, so we'll tackle that this weekend!
