Making the Labels

To make the Coffee Scrub label, I painted brown watercolor onto the base of a small jar. I then practiced dabbing rings, unit I got something that looked like real coffee cup rings.

To make the Bubble Bath label, I flicked blue watercolor onto Avery Label stickers, with a brush. I then drew the letters, leaving spaces where the blue dots are. I outlined each dot with pencil, to make them more pronounced.
