Got dirt…get clean

Filed Under DT: Christy, Other projects, People, Summer | 6 Comments

Christy started this project by taking a trip to the local dollar store for a bottle of hand sanitizer.

When she got home she removed the stickers (she says Goo Gone works great) and then stamped Stuart the bug-oolgist on white cardstock with a few bugs. Some handmade dots made an excellent border for Stuart’s dirty world. :) She added the handwritten title “Get Dirty” which she says “encourages all those bug-ologists to make the most of their exploration”.

She took the final layout to a copy store and made it into a transparency using a toner based copy machine. She suggests that you not use an ink jet printer – apparently ink jets and sanitizer don’t play well.

Once done, cut out the image as close to the edges as possible leaving adequate space on the bottom of the image to sit on the bottom of the bottle. Roll up the transparency and stick it inside the bottle. Use a kitchen utensil (something skinny) and work the transparency until it lays correctly in front of the bottle.

Great project Christy! Thanks for so much for sharing it. Now excuse me while I got find some dirt…

Please note: this project was made for personal use. Be sure to read stamp companies permission policy on copyright. I can only speak for Eat Cake Graphics – and in this instance copying the image at a copy store would be fine with me as long as you weren’t producing these for resale.
