Thread: How to age my potion bottles?

Tweet

Can anyone recommend a method to achieve an aged, or dingy, dirty look for the glass on my potion bottles and specimen jars?

We were just at a craft fair where a person was selling wine bottles with lights in them. The bottles has the labels available from Dollar Tree, and had a rust-looking spray on them. My wife sez that the spray is available at craft stores - it has a rough, rust-like texture and color. It was very effective.

Edit: I just searched the Michaels website and found something caled "Sophisticated Finishes". It is a 2 part spray, one is a metallic, the second creates a patina. It looks like that is what was used.

Of course, you could always make a big ol' mud puddle, slosh 'em around in there and let them dry! Sometimes the easiest solution is the best!

Use tea or coffee maybe....

Thanks all.

How about shoe polish?
