Creepy Decorated Apothecary Bottles for Halloween and free Label Templates

I love making Halloween decorations and these bottles are so easy and cute.  I found the templates on this blog.  http://blog.worldlabel.com/2014/printable-halloween-apothecary-bottle-labels.html
I printed the labels and then chose the ones I liked best from the two pages of labels.  I used a distressing tool I made with a plumbing fixture that I jammed a bunch of make up sponges into and then folded the top one over and hot glued it into the plastic.  I used Distress Ink Pumice Stone and distressed them by lightly dabbing on the paper, since I used computer printer paper for the designs.  It worked well as long as you don’t rub the paper or it will pill.  I bought my bottles from A C Moore and they were $1 each.  One has a circle embossed into it, so it’s perfect for the circle label.  I liked the “Dust of Unicorn Horn” and a smaller label that said it was “Highly Potent” for the smaller bottle.  The larger bottle with the circle, I used the label that mentioned Crow’s feathers, so I put three feathers into the bottle after I was done.  I used grape Kool-Aid and filled the Horn of Unicorn Dust bottle with it.  I used tear tape to adhere the labels to the bottles.  And used matt Mod Podge to coat the labels when they were dry.
