Save old glass jars and containers to make these up-cycled DIY Halloween Potion Bottles. We love this creative Apothecary Halloween Craft to make the most Boo-tiful decor for the October season.

DIY Halloween Potion Bottles

Pin to Pinterest

If you are anything like me, you save glass bottles & jars in hopes of making them into something new & exciting. I love a pretty mason jar, and even some salad dressing jars speak to me, so in no time I can have a decent collection of them begging to be up-cycled.

Halloween is one of the best times of the year to utilize those. You can make cute storage jars, fun character crafts on them, or in this case, some pretty potion bottles for decoration.
I had the Crown Royal bottle for a while, saving it for just the right project, because it’s such a pretty bottle, but let’s face it, not exactly the right theme to put out for just anything, so this was it. But, you don’t have to have a fancy bottle to make these. The taller one I used had been a bath salt I had made last fall, and the label was still on it, so I decided to just paint right over it, making it look more finished off, instead of trying to remove it and leaving a torn paper on the bottle instead. So, if you have bottles with labels, as long as the label is well fixed, paint right over it! Don’t hesitate to try to utilize things you may not have thought would work, sometimes the outcome will surprise you.

DIY Halloween Potion Bottles

Supplies:

1 or 2 glass bottles of your choice
Metallic finished spray paints of at least 2 colors* – we used a silver and a gold
Black acrylic paint or a black paint marker**
Washi tape if desired – this is a way to get a more finished off look or a handmade label without too much work
Buttons – anything metallic to Halloween color
Baker’s Twine or string to attach buttons as needed
Scissors
Super glue

*I used a metallic silver, which by the lid looked like it would be shiny and reflective, but it was actually more matte, and I was happy it was – then I used a hammered finish one that is more of a pewter/ copper, to contrast that silver – Gold would work too, you just want more than one type

** If you are using the paint, you will need a plate, and a thin paint brush, water cup and paper towel.

To begin, be sure the bottles are nicely cleaned and dried, then, if you plan to actually use the bottles for storage, remove the lids from them when you paint so they don’t dry and tear the paint when opening them later.

You can go ahead and lay all pieces out to spray. (I left my lids on, since I knew they would only be for decoration.)

Spray the lighter shade of color on the bottles first, you want the darker one to be on top for contrast and you will use less of it.

Let them air dry for a good 20-30 minutes. After that time, check the spray paint to see how well covered the bottle is, if it needs any more coating, and if so, go ahead and spray it again. Then, give it another 20 minutes and check to see if it is dry.

Once the layer is well covered and the bottles are dry, you can use the darker colored spray paint. I shook mine up, but not as much as I normally would’ve, because I actually wanted it to come out a little uneven and maybe even chunky in a spot or two. It worked well, too. What you want to achieve is a light coat of it around the edges of the bottle, to look more like wear and discoloring than a full coat of paint. I tried to leave the label areas open, with the lighter color only on them, so that it would be easier to paint on and read later. This layer of paint only took one coat and I just very lightly went back and forth with the spray paint, hitting it here and there. Some of this is of course, your preference.

Now, let that coat fully dry.

While you are waiting on that, you can start arranging your buttons and deciding how you want to lay out the decorations on the bottles. I went with washi tape on the top, thinner part of the bottle, because I felt it was too skinny to try and paint any wording there or anything. The top curve of the bottle where it gets wider is the perfect place to make a focal point. So, think about adding washi tape there and your buttons.

Now, if your buttons are flat, then all you have to do is glue them on, unless you want to add the twine anyway, for looks. Otherwise, the baker’s twine is the way you are going to attach the buttons. Tying the twine through the back loop on each button and then letting it hang just a bit off the bow is perfect. I used a combination of both types of buttons.

So, once your bottles are dry, get your glue, your paint marker and your washi tape ready.

Look over the bottles and choose which side you like the best, and make that the front side of the bottle.

Add the washi tape wherever you decided to first, being careful to keep it nice and straight, and smooth it out nicely. It’s important to go slowly as you do this, otherwise if you have to pull it back up, it may tear the paint off the bottle, depending on how strong it is.

Next, you will want to add some nice lines here and there to represent labels on the bottles. You don’t have to add wording if you don’t want to, but the paint marker makes that easier for you if you aren’t good at hand-painting lettering. With the paint marker, you will need to shake it up a lot to get it started, and then using a scrap piece of paper, press down on it to bring the paint to the tip. I practiced on the paper first, to get used to the paint flow. It can tend to be uneven and you sometimes have to go back and press the tip down again when it dries up.

If you are using a paint brush, you obviously won’t have to bother with any of that part. Go ahead and paint on your lines – there is no right or wrong to this, I would just advise to go slowly and to follow the curves on the bottle or the label area and don’t over-do it. Less is sometimes more.

Let the paint dry once you’re done and then you can add the twine and buttons.

Measure out the baker’s twine around the bottle to be sure you have plenty to work with, figuring for the knots, and then cut that. Run the twine around the neck and tie a good knot to keep it in place, and then make a bow. Once the bow is done, go ahead and tie on any buttons you need to. Double knot them on the back and if you like, add a drop of glue so they won’t loosen. Then, glue on any buttons to the bottles themselves by adding a drop of glue to the back and then holding firmly in place for a minute to be sure they won’t fall off.

Now, set the bottles back from you a bit and give them a good once over – if they look completed to you, then you are all set! If they need any touch ups or additions of buttons or lines, go ahead and finish that off.

Happy Halloween!

Cricut Monogram Tutorial

Pin to Pinterest

Cricut is a personal electronic cutting machine cuts vinyl, paper, fabric & more. The DIY craft cutter is simple to use for scrapbooking, home décor, card making and monogramming! If you are like me, having a new electronic can be intimidating and take a little getting used to. We have produced a brain free, step-by-step Cricut Monogram Tutorial to help you get starting making your first vinyl monogram!

Before you begin, fonts are so important for monograms. Print your Fonts into a Font Catalog – less than 5 minutes! This is all the fonts you have on your computer. Pin to Pinterest.

Be sure to check out more crafty ideas in the Circut Design Space.

Enjoy.

Cricut Monogram Tutorial:

1. Open Cricut Design Space and select File, New.

2. Click insert images on the left. I typed circle into the search bar, but you could use an apple, square, etc. I picked two different circles so I can show you two types of monograms.

3. Click add text. I prefer to use a chunky or calligraphy type text for my monograms.As you can see, my text is lowercase, uppercase, lowercase. However, you can change it up for your design.

4. I am going to start with the monogram on the left. This will be a layered monogram. Hit the unlock button on the text. This allows you to resize to fit inside your shape.

5. Right click the text and click ungroup. This let’s you adjust each letter accordingly. If you need to make each letter bigger or small you can click the unlock button on each letter to do this.

6. Hold your shift key and click each letter. Right click and pick group. Now your letters should be grouped back together. On the right hand side, click weld.

7. Right click the shape and pick ungroup. Move the back layer out of the way.

8. On the right hand menu you will see your current shape. This shape has 2 layers so I want to hide the back layer by clicking the “eyeball”. It is not gone, just hidden so you can work with the top layer only.

9. Highlight the letters and top shape and click Slice. Move the sliced letters out of the way. You can delete them at this point if you like.

10. Now you can unhide the back layer and put your 2 layers back together. YAY you now have a layered monogram. Perfect for a shirt, backpack, or more.

11. Now we will move on to the shape monogram. Steps are very similar. Start by ungrouping your text.

12. Click the unlock button on text and arrange the letters to look the way you want. I like to keep my middle letter bigger from top to bottom of my shape and adjust the side letters accordingly.

13. On the right side menu, highlight the three letters and click Weld.

14. Highlight the shape and text, click Slice.

15. Now you can use the text by itself or the circle shape with the text cut out. Multipurpose!

Kids Science Experiments at Home | Baking Soda and Vinegar

Science Experiments at Home for Kids on Frugal Coupon Living. Take a look at the chemical reaction produced from baking soda and vinegar!

Kids Science Experiments at Home | Baking Soda and Vinegar

Pin to Pinterest

The kids and I love to do crafts at home. Sometimes they enjoy it a little bit more than me! However, I try to be a good mother and do what I can to create excitement at home that is minimal and is an easy clean up. The former teacher in me, also makes sure the activity has some education involved. This baking soda and vinegar experiment is creative, crafty and something you as a mother can walk away from as they have fun playing with the patterns and colors – I think you can get away with telling them it is art!

So a quick description so you and your child understand what is going on. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid) react with each other because of an acid-base reaction. One of the products this reaction creates is carbon dioxide, which creates all the fizzing as it escapes the solution.

Hey Mom! Did you know that you can unclog a drain with baking soda and vinegar! Pour a pot of boiling hot water down your drain and then ad about 1/2 cup of baking soda. Let that sit for a bit. After, pour 1 cup vinegar and 1 cup very hot water. Cover your drain with a plug to keep the chemical reaction going down. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes and flush out with more hot boiling water!

Baking Soda and Vinegar

Supplies:

Directions:

Separate your baking soda evenly into 3 bowls, 1 cup in each.
Add several drops of food coloring to each bowl to turn each cup of baking soda a different color.
Mix your baking soda and food coloring together, you will have to use your fingertips as the food coloring tends to clump together.
Pour your colored baking soda into your baking pan and lightly shake the pan so it spreads out evenly.
Place your straw into your bottle of vinegar, place your finger tip on the top of the straw to hold the vinegar inside the straw, lift over to the pan of baking soda, and release your finger.
You will notice the reaction of the vinegar combining with the baking soda.

Extension:

When baking soda and vinegar are combined they create an chemical reaction. Baking soda is a bicarbonate and vinegar is an acetic acid it creates carbon dioxide and water.

Have the kids place the vinegar where the colors connect too, do they mix together and make new colors?

Take a look at our Balloon Blow Up Experiment with Baking Soda and Vinegar! Have fun!

Upcycled Craft | Jellyfish Water Bottle

Pin to Pinterest

This is a fun upcycled craft for the kids. Reuse an old water bottle and cut it down to create this fun jellyfish water bottle. We luckily didn’t have to buy anything because all the supplies were laying around our home. We love the blue and orange contrast but you could have fun create rainbow legs with pinks, yellows, greens, oranges, blues and more. This is a fun idea for Earth Day on March 20th. We also think it’s a cute idea to take into the preschool classroom for a summer craft session. Show us how yours turns out. We can’t wait to see!

Supplies:

Empty plastic bottle
A mix of blue and green craft paints
Foam paint brush
1 1/2″ thick sheer orange ribbon
Hole puncher
Googly eyes
Scissors
Hot glue/hot glue gun

Directions:

Cut the bottom of your water bottle off, about 3-4″ from the bottom and dry out the inside with a towel.
Use a hole puncher to punch holes every 3/4″ across the open end edge.
Squirt a small amount of blue and green paints onto a palette of a paper plate, paint the outside of your plastic bottle, and let dry.
Cut your ribbon into 12″ pieces, place one piece at a time halfway into a punched hole, and tie into a knot until each hole has a ribbon.
Carefully hot glue two googly eyes onto the front of your blue bottle.
