Halloween Love Potion Bottles~ A Tutorial

I had a little itch to make something for Halloween this morning, and I was thinking about love... ah, love, sweet love ...

I had taken down my rolled paperback book wreath from the front door. I had just found some bottles at an Estate Sale so a project was born.

This bottle with the cork top was perfect.



First I ripped the paperback book rolls off the wreath... not very carefully and filled the bottle. (As you can see, or not see, you really don't even need to have anything in the bottle.)

Next I hunted up some witches on the internet, printed them and added a label "Ancient Witch Spells for Love Potions" and "Drink Up, My Pretty!"




Then I used my distress ink pads to "Dirty Up" the label and scrunched it up into a ball. Flattened it out again and glued the label onto the bottle with a glue stick.




We're almost through. I took some stained material I had down in the dungeon and dirtied it up more, glued it on the top and bottom. Tied a another dirty piece around the top to finish it off.




Now comes the really fun part. I lit a candle and dripped it all over everything. I loved that part. But you might be able to see that I accidentally lit the fabric on fire. Oops!

Reminded me of why we shouldn't play with fire! Be careful!




The type is one that came with my computer called "Cracked".

Did you enjoy the tutorial? I haven't written one in a long time, and I am out of practice!
