In the spirit of Halloween, my daughters and I recently crafted our own spooky apothecary bottles to store various handmade lotions and potions. It was a very fun, easy and inexpensive project. Here is how we did it...
This fella lost his head over the Swamp Fog! |
Each bottle got a good hot soak in the sink followed by a scrub with a copper dish scrubber until they were crystal clear. Note: If you have any stubborn old label adhesive on the glass, I find that coating it with olive oil for 10-15 minutes before soaking and scrubbing works great.
Second, we searched the Internet for fun "potion" labels and downloaded some amazing labels on flickr, posted by Love Manor. They have a selection of outstanding old world designs with a very tongue-in-cheek spooky flair.
We could all use a little Life Renewal! |
We temporarily set our bottles out in the parlor for a final viewing, but next week they will be in our powder room gruesomely holding bath salts (Graveyard Dust), cotton balls (Swamp Fog) and body wash (Life Renewal Potion)!
Have a safe and Happy Halloween!!!
