Potion Bottles for Halloween

Pinterest strikes again! 
 
It was this potion bottles photo, while searching Halloween ideas, that caused this Sunday afternoon project.  Luckily Hubby & Little Man loved the idea too and were excited to help!
 
 
First we collected everything we thought would look great in our spooky collection!

 
Ready to have fun with spray paint

 
I painted some, then Little Man painted some, then . . .

 
Hubby decided we weren't doing it right!

 
He also had to paint the bottoms, which I would have passed on.

 
This is the twist we loved. 
This awesome lady made FREE Harry Potter Potion Bottle labels printables and Little Man loved them!  He had so much fun reading the details, while cutting them out. 

 
The bottles finished drying and waited for their labels

 
We had trouble with the first couple glues we tried, but this Creative Memories pen did wonders.  Though I have found that, a week later, this mixed with black spray paint doesn't come off skin as easily as one would think.

 
We made sure to get the edges extra well!

 
Then just put them randomly on our black jars

 
Lookin' good!

 
Little Man's favorite

 
My favorite

 
Time to brew a cheese cloth for the display

 
Aging as we watch

 
The final spooky display!  We are already getting compliments!
 
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
