Make these Cheap & Easy DIY Halloween Potion Bottles.

Hey friend. Happy Tuesday. I hope your week is off to a good start. I’ve been working hard to bring you some of the best Halloween and Fall DIY’s out there. Summer is basically over. And it’s NOT 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 Fall season. So this DIY craft is one that I didn’t even need to buy anything for. I already had all the items for laying around my craft room. And I loved making these DIY Halloween Potion Bottles so much. They were quick and easy.

So I’ll give you step by step instructions on how to make them to put in your home. You can display them anywhere you want. I have mine up on my mantel with my Halloween fireplace decor. And I think they look great up there.

This craft will only take a little bit to make and you won’t spend an arm and a leg on it.

Which is literally the best thing ever! I love affordable crafts! Don’t you?!

Items you will need:

Let’s get down to business!

 

I had these bottles in my craft room just waiting to be used. I used two wine bottles and one vintage style glass bottle. You can get it HERE. 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 3 bottles dry over night. 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 2 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 that I cut off the ring part and hot glued them on the end of the twine.

Learn How To Make This Spooky DIY Spell Book Halloween Craft.

Happy Monday friend. Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I am back to working this week and super excited about it. If you read my blog posts from the week before last I mentioned Tyson and I were going out of town for one last trip with his family to Bear Lake. It’s a favorite tradition we do every year to end Summer the best way possible. All my family and friends have been posting pictures about their kiddos starting school again. So that means it’s time for Fall. YAY! I’ve been working on Halloween and Fall Decor. And this spooky and fun DIY spell book is a must for Halloween.

As much as I love Summer ya girl is ready for ALLLLLL things Fall.

So this project is so dang easy and only cost me a couple bucks. Which who doesn’t love DIY’s that don’t break the bank. You know I am all about saving money when it comes to crafts and home decor!

Some of the links on my blog are affiliate links, meaning no additional cost to you, I earn a commission if you purchase through the links. Thanks for supporting my dream!

You can click on any highlighted item to see where I purchased each item for this DIY spell book.

Items you will need:

To first start out you will want to find an old book. I found mine at a garage sale. But I’ve bought tons at the thrift store also. These books usually cost less than a dollar and they are actually super pretty to display in your home.

 

 

This is a large spider I found at Dollar Tree. You can get the spider HERE. It’s velvet and brown. I wanted it to match the book so I painted it black. I used acrylic paint.

 

You will have to use a couple coats because the brown peeks through.

 

I’ve seen this technique used on Pinterest before to bring texture to items. You rip up paper towels and mod podge them all over the book or whatever item you are using. They will take some time to dry. I let mine dry over night to make sure it was completely ready for paint.

 

Next, I hot glued a spider web in the corner. It definitely wasn’t perfect which didn’t bother me because you’ll paint over it.

 

 

Don’t worry if it isn’t perfect either!

You can see the spider web coming together.

 

Just so you know the hot glue will only take a minute to dry. Once it has dried you can start painting the whole book black.

 

It will take at least two layers of acrylic paint to fully cover the book.

 

Once the black paint is dry you can hot glue on your black spider. You may have to go back and touch up some areas that didn’t get fully covered in paint.

 

And then when I painted the entire book black, and hot glued on my spider I brought out my metallic acrylic paint. This paint is awesome to use as an accent color.

 

So there wasn’t really any pattern to painting on the metallic paint. I just painted over random spots until it created the desired look I wanted.

Who else loves FREEBIES?!

 

This cool skull is a FREE printable you can get by filling the form below. I’ve created 16 different Halloween printables you can have.

You will want to mod podge the Free printable skull on the top of the book.

Here it is guys! I love the way it turned out. What a fun Halloween DIY it was.
