I walked by the Micheal's display of Halloween stuff several weeks ago and I fell in LOVE with the little jars they had for decor. I decided to make a set of my own....so that I could curb my Halloween Jar desires!!
Here is what I came up with :)
I found free printables by searching on Google for the term I wanted on my labels. I printed them out and turned them into stickers (like all time favorite thing to do...ever!)
Web of Spider
I lucked out one day when my local Hobby Lobby had ALL their glass on sale for 50% off! I got all the jars that are shared here for next to nothing!
I filled this jar with faux spider web, easy peasy!!
Moon Dust
This one was fun to do! It is flour and white glitter!! I filled the jar about 1/4 fullwith flour and poured quite a bit of the glitter....then I shook it like crazy!!!
Dragon Bones
I don't have any actual bones in here yet....still struggling to find something to fit the concept without being a food item :(
Graveyard Dust
Potting soil.....that's it!
Earth Worms
What ingredient set is complete without worms?? Finding faux worms has proved to be very difficult! They either have a smell to them for fishing or they are god-awful expensive!
Cobra Venom
Now we moved on to liquid....how to do this?? I enlisted the other half....he chose corn syrup and food coloring! Genius this man is sometimes!
I filled this jar about a quarter full with corn syrup and then added green food dye until I got the desired color!
Poison
Another staple for any "good" witch! We used the corn syrup again and decided to go with a purple-ly color so I added purple paint to corn syrup in this jar for the effect.
Zombie Virus
Just in case you wanted to clear out a population, there is always Zombie Virus! This is one more corn syrup mix with a yellow tint. I was going to go green with it....but we already had the Venom so I didn't want to over do it.
Jar of Eyes!
I decided not to label this one....mainly because the jar is something that stay on my mantel with every season and what goes inside changes. These eyes are bouncing balls I found at Micheal's in the Halloween trinket section of the store. Think I picked them up for 2/$5.
I hope to add to these for next year, and to seriously find the ingredients I am missing! I am almost done with my mantel as a whole and will be sharing that tomorrow!! YAY!
Happy Halloween!!
