Easy DIY Halloween Potion Bottles
Easy DIY Halloween Potion Bottles
From the blogger: "It’s never too early to bring out the fall decor. It’s been fun to work on all the new decorations I am displaying in my home this autumn. Unlike other fall crafts found online, this DIY craft is one that I didn’t even need to buy anything for. I already had all the items I needed laying around my craft room. Better yet, I loved making these DIY Halloween Potion Bottles almost more than any other Halloween decoration yet! They were quick and easy. They look perfect on my fireplace mantel."

Instructions
-
I had these bottles in my craft room just waiting to be used. I used two wine bottles and one vintage-style glass bottle. I got it from Dollar Tree, which is one of my favorite affordable stores to purchase DIY supplies.
-
I use this technique all the time to create texture on items. It’s super easy. You will rip paper towel pieces up and mod podge them on your bottle. This creates a really cool effect when it dries.
-
They will take some time to dry. I let the three bottles dry overnight to make sure they were ready to paint.
-
Once the mod podge textured paper towel layer was dry, I painted the bottles black. I used black acrylic paint.
-
It will take at least two layers of acrylic paint to cover the bottles completely.
-
Once the bottles were painted and dry, I wrapped twine a few times around the top of the bottle.
-
These cute skulls were plastic rings off which I cut the ring part. Then, I hot glued them on the end of the twine.
-
Next, you will need to mod podge the "FREE POTION LABELS" on the bottles.
-
Here they are guys! Aren’t they so fun? I absolutely love the way they turned out. I think they are spooky and super cute!
