DIY Spooky Bottle Labels

We interrupt this blog post for a special announcement!  If you look over in the right hand column (scroll down a bit), you will see our blog followers.  This past week we hit 100 followers and now we even have one more! Woohoo! Thank you to all that follow us and keep coming back to visit and a special BIG thank you to all who take the time to leave a nice comment!  We really enjoy your comments!
Now back to our regularly scheduled post!  Did someone say spooky bottle labels? Oh yeah! I did! LOL!  I actually made these a few years back and shared them on my card blog, but I wanted to share them here too because I really enjoy decorating with them each year and the labels are still available for FREE!
Here they are this year just hanging out on the old Hoosier.  Love!  Every year I add something new to our decorations, but each year the old bottles come out to sit a while and look spooky!  In case you're interested, the old book pumpkin how to can be found HERE and the crow's nest on an old bed spring can be found HERE.
I found the spooky labels HERE , printed them out on a cream colored card stock, cut them out and then used Aleen's Tacky Glue to stick them on the bottles.  Just an FYI, not all glue will adhere to glass, so you may have to do some experimenting with the glues you have in your stash.
Eeww!  Slug Juice!  For advanced wizards only!  Haha!  There are a whole page of the labels and they all look really cool and spooky!  So much detail in each label.
I put this original wart tonic label on an old snuff jar.  We collected our jars and bottles from yard sales and resale shops and didn't spend over $2 for any of them.  Just look and you'll find old interesting bottles to use!
This is a craft that is easy and can be used year after year if you want to like we do! Do you decorate for Halloween? Did you make something fun this year? Leave a comment and let us know!

It doesn't have to be done all at once.  It is a slow process in the works! C-ya next time!

  3. Your spooky labels certainly make the bottles more interesting to say nothing about what a clever idea they are.
