Don’t toss those empty w**e bottles just yet. 🍷🎃 Give them a second life with a little Halloween DIY!
Here’s what you’ll need to recreate each one:
👻 Ghost Bottle — White + black glass or multi-surface acrylic paint. Dark w**e bottles can take several coats, so let each coat dry completely before adding the next.
🎃 Jack-o’-Lantern Bottle — Orange + black glass or multi-surface acrylic paint and battery-operated fairy lights. Build up the orange with multiple coats until you’re happy with the coverage. (Fairy lights can be found at craft stores, Walmart & Amazon for less than $10!)
👀 Mummy Bottle — Gauze or cheesecloth, googly eyes + craft glue. Wrap the fabric loosely and overlap it in different directions for that perfectly imperfect mummy look.
🕯️ Dripping Candle Bottle — Taper candles. Secure a candle in the bottle opening and let the wax naturally drip down the sides. Let the wax cool between layers if you want to build up more drips. Some folks choose to burn additional candles and hold them over and let them drip for a quicker result. Never leave a burning candle unattended!
🧪 Potion Bottle — Printed Halloween labels + whatever you have in your craft stash. Try lace, tw**e, charms, wax seals or distressed paper to give it an old potion-shop look.
Before you start: Remove the original label, clean off any leftover adhesive and make sure your bottle is completely dry.
Now for the important question: Which bottle are you making — ghost, jack-o’-lantern, mummy, dripping candle or potion bottle? Tell us below! 👇
And, of course, step one: finish the w**e. 😉🍷
