Fun with Numbers!!!

Hi everyone!!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!  We enjoyed ourselves....but it always goes by sooooo fast.  I did my first "guest post" over at the Blissful Bucket List last week.  In case you missed my project, I wanted to share it once again here.

I have two projects that consist of numbers.  I just love numbers right now and try to incorporate them into my decor in different places.  I found these three canisters at a garage sale for a couple of bucks.  I fell in love with the size of them and the fact that they had teaspoons on the side.  I quickly scooped them up and brought them home.  Here is a before picture of them.


I used my cricut machine to create three stencils out of contact paper.  I absolutely love my cricut machine....Santa brought it for me last Christmas:)!  I used a black acrylic paint that is specifically used to paint on glass and carefully dabbed the paint on.  Always dab....never rub when you are stenciling.  I removed the contact paper as soon as I finished with the paint because it dries quickly.  There were a few runs, however, this paint seems a bit more chunky so if you use a toothpick you can clean the lines up very easily.  Here they are after their "make-over"!


Onto the second "number" project.  I found these little glasses at a garage sale as well.  I think they were used as small canning jars, however I use them for little juice cups.  Here they are before I prettied them up...


I used the same technique as I described above.  Here they are now after their "make-over".



Have a great evening!!!  If you're reading...ThAnKs!!!
