Decoupage DIY Halloween Apothecary Jars

I’m very excited that October has arrived and my decor can shift from fall to Halloween! We all know that Martha is the Queen of Halloween, so when I had the chance to get my hands on some Martha Stewart Decoupage fit for spoooooky Halloween Crafts I just couldn’t say no.

You’ll be so surprised how easy it is to create these Apothecary jars that you’ll consider opening your own festive pharmacy!

I found this a great assortment of glass jars at a yard sale, just begging to be given a new purpose!

For this Decoupage project you will need:

-Vessels of choice, mine are glass

(this medium creates a durable finish on glass, fabric, paper, metal, and wood)

-Martha Stewart Decoupage Multi-Surface Matte Finish

-1 pkg. Martha Stewart decoupage paper cutouts

-Decoupage Brush

-Dishcloth/rag

 This decoupage project really is as easy as 1-2-3!

1. Prep your bottles. Give a good wash, and a rub with alcohol to remove any residue. Punch desired labels from your Martha decoupage paper-cut outs.

2. Using Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Durable Matt Finish decoupage medium, brush a thin coat on the area you intend to stick your label.

On a scrap paper lay your label face side down and brush a thin coat on the back. Apply the label. Brush directly over the label with a small amount of finish (*a little goes a long way*).

To make the bottle look like it contains eyeballs, I applied the decoupage medium to the front side of the eyeball cutouts and overlapped them on the back of the bottle.

3. Using a damp rag, wipe excess medium off of the bottle, as close to the label as possible. Allow to dry approx 3 hours or overnight.

Fill your bottles with creepery and get working on your spells!

I used water, food colouring, dollar store bats and spiders to fill my jars.

The decoupage medium is dishwasher safe, machine washable, non-yellowing, drys hard with no tack, can be used indoors or out, and is available at Michaels.
