Today my new ink arrived for the printer so I can now get on and print the apothecary labels similar to these (and various others I have on pinterest).
These are going on the bottles and jars that I have been saving to make halloween bottles/jars for a witches shelf for one of my best friends as she fell in love with mine last year at halloween and asked me to make her some.
Here's some of my bottles from last year, I can't find the picture of them on the shelf:
They have all been handmade by myself, most are from old food jars and medicine bottles. The contents vary from things I have had in the craft box (feather shaped sequins) to shop bought items (the grow your own brain). The labels were all found on the internet and edited to how I wanted them. In total I have about 30 different jars/bottles on my shelf and where I am making a set for my friend and have had new ideas I will be adding to mine as well. Once the contents are in the jar either dry or with coloured water/hair gel/hand gel/baby oil etc they are sealed with a hot glue gun to avoid them being opened by "little people".
Some of the new jars I am making include leprechauns gold (gold cake decorating icing balls) and ground unicorn horn (silver sparkly cake icing dust) and I have white glittery clay to make an actual unicorns horn.
There are many ideas on the internt for making apothecary jars, some are very simple others not so. But the only limits are your imigination and purse. I've had great fun in making those that I already have and i'm I sure I will enjoy making more.
I plan to actually make a "life-size" witch to be sat with her potions over a couldron, she will be made from a £1 shop painters suit (stuffed) and then dressed in a witches outfit (including tights and hopefully shoes) and a witches mask. This will be a depending on time make but as i'm not at home this year for halloween its not urgent.
A few of my new labels to go on bottles. Please feel free to copy them.
