Easy As 1-2-3




Collections pop up all around me, I am perpetual collector, after all...and I have a collection of glass bottles. I think because everything seems to come in plastic bottles these days, I hoard glass. Like I'm some kind of glass ambassador, I know I'm weird unique.

These particular ones are a nice shape, sorta like medicine bottles, but not really. But kinda.

So I decided to do something fun with them using vinyl stickers. I love any kind of typography, so I was excited! This is a simple idea and one that has been done before, but the thing is: I finally did it, which offers such a sense of accomplishment, even in this teeny tiny project. You know what I mean?

I simply eye-balled the stickers...1-2-3


Super easy!


(Purchased from Wal-mart, hardware dept.)
How fun is this!

Just loverly!



I see a whole slew of vinyl sticker projects coming on! :)

Thanks for stopping in! I hope you're inspired!

  1. I love 'em! I guess we were on the same wave length this weekend ~ I just did a project with 1, 2, 3, and posted about it, too! First time I used numbers in a project.

  3. I love bottles too. There is something about old glass that appeals to me. I love the numbers on your glass bottles...they add just the right amount of "something"!!

  5. Michelle - they are great! Thanks for telling where to pick up those numbers. I just ordered some numbers to put on my huge flight of stairs (1 2 3) :) probably cost me more than your wmart find - but I'm sure I can use those somewhere else!

  20. Can I just say these are some of the best numbered bottles I have seen, and the fact that you purchased the numbers at WalMart and didn't make them with your Cricut (no idea if you have one, but I do not) means that I can do this too...LOVE this! a little yahoo to you for this post!
