Halloween was a great chance to pull out the decorations and do some new crafts! I wanted a witch themed mantle this year but needed some more decor to make it work. I searched around and found awesome witch brew bottles at a local craft store but for $5.99 each. I loved them but did not want to spend over $20 on glass jars. Instead I wandered over to the glass jar aisle and found these!
What's even better was the price! $1 each... sold!
I took the bottles home and found a free download of Harry Potter potions, bought those and went straight to printing them out on normal paper.

In the meantime, I mixed mod podge and water on a crafting sponge and made the glasses look dirty and used. It gives it that little extra!
The final step was to mod podge the labels to the bottles. Viola! Potion bottles. I got them up on the mantle and realized it needed one more thing... potions!
This was the fun part! Mix food colorings with water and the potions take on a realistic look, just keep the kiddos from knocking them over ;)
