Does any body how to do this??? I really want to make my own spell bottles. Im having a witch theme party so i want to have some around the table .Primitive Grungy Halloween Witch Potion Bottles Pattern - eBay (item 170251741915 end time Aug-23-08 17:18:16 PDT)

Its paint and cinnamon. I can't tell you exactly as she has a copyright on her patterns. I purchased her pattern awhile back and have made a few for my halloween display. Sorry

I'm planning on the same thing with the potion bottles.

Someone posted about finding rub on labels at michaels they looked pretty cool. Not primitive like tho.

You should be able to cover the bottles with paint, moss, cinnamon, dirt, honestly whatever you think will make them look creepy. I tied twine around a few of mine so far.

You could also make your own rub on transfers with a printer.
Rub-On Transfer Paper & Rub on Decal Paper

Those are so cool!

i made a few the other night to add to the ones i made last year.


i used a small wine bottle, a herb jar, a small carafe & a tonic water bottle. the llabels were put on another thread by a poster - i just printed them off. i used recycled string & garden twine to tie round them - but also good is the thin bandages you get - just tea or coffee stain them.

there was also another tutorial on here about making a rusty sword - that was a paint - that might give you a similar effect

Oh wow! Witchiepoo....those came out great!

be sure to let us see how you got on don't forget trying to make your own labels - the bottles i made last year I just printed off the various ingredients using a spooky font. then ripped round the labels , scrunched them up & then soaked them in tea. once they were dry i just glued them on the bottles. I can't put a picture up until i get my halloween stuff down from the loft.


there are a few other threads with tuturials on potion bottles if you search though. good luck!

You can skip the soaking in tea part by purchasing calligraphy paper at Michaels. Just print your design in your printer, crinkle and tear around the edges. It looks great!

Here is what they look like without crinkling the paper:
