Saving a Yankee

After creating my vases and votives for the Martha Stewart glass paint campaign, I just couldn't stop.  I literally ran around the house finding as many glass containers as I could to deck out in paint.  Once I ran out of empty jars, I had to get creative and the first thing that came to mind was my army of Yankee candles.

They are wonderful and make my home smell delicious, but I don't like the labels.  Typically I just turn them around (see above) and use them plain, but now that I have a truckload of silkscreens and glass paint at my disposal, I can save them from the plain life!

 The technique is simple...

One silkscreen, 30 seconds of painting and pull that screen off.

Now doesn't that seem better than the over-designed label from the store?

Yeah...I thought so too...

What have YOU been creating lately?
