DIY Poison Bottles + Easy Halloween Mantle

These DIY Poison Bottles were crafted with supplies provided by Oriental Trading. All spooky ideas and opinions are my own.

What is Halloween without a witch or two.  They fly around on brooms and concoct spooky potions, and sometimes they come with a little stylish flair.  When I was little it was all about Hocus Pocus, I was Winifred of course with the curly ginger hair.  Can’t you just see the Sanderson sisters using a bottle or two of these special DIY poison bottles.  No need for magic here though, this is one craft that is so easy and requires only preschool craft skills: cut and paste.

Supplies:
dark glass bottles
poison scrapbook paper
Modge Podge
scissors

Directions:

1. Cut out your poison labels. Use poison scrapbook paper or print up labels.
2. Apply Mod Podge to the back of the label with a brush.  
3. Place label onto your glass bottles.  Apply another layer of Modge Podge on top to seal.
4. Clean any excess glue around the edges with a wet rag.

Tip: If you don’t have dark glass bottles on hand you can create your own with a little Modge Podge and food coloring.

Fiddleback Spider Venom and Deadly Nightshade were the perfect addition to my Halloween Mantle.  Everything pulled together with a few items from Oriental Trading, a couple handcrafted items, and few things I had on hand that were already adorning the mantle.  

• Halloween Pennant- double sided with Happy Halloween on one side and solid Halloween prints on the other.  I used the shorter string to add height and dimension to my mantle.
