    I love the #1. What did you make this out of?

    Barbara W wrote:

    Thank you! I used white foam board and my husband freehanded the #1, and used a box knife to cut it out. I wanted a wood one, and Michaels ususally has white ones, but they were out of the large. You may want to check there. Then we just added the ribbon, taped it to the back, and got the flowers and ladybug stickers from the scrapbooking section at Michaels and tied a coordinating bow at the bottom. Good Luck :)

    The etsy shop is closed, but she has an online website. Whimsically detailed.com Also this is a link to an etsy shop that has similar printables. I don't see water bottle labels, but I would contact her shop because she probably can make them.http://www.etsy.com/listing/101868568/pink-and-green-ladybug-cupcake-toppers?ref=shop_home_active

    Dots and gingham etsy shop sent me a sample of adorable ladybug water bottle labels. Either message her for the sample in pink and green, or you can give me your email and I will send the sample to you. I can't attach an image here.
