Making Witches Bottles and Jars

Yesterday, I decided to do a little craft that Penny Parker inspired me with. I like to infuse my own medicinal oils and tinctures to make all kinds of stuff. Been doing it for a long time amongst other things. I do like to paint my jars (the outside) with a dark color because it helps the herbs and infusions have a much better shelf life and this way I can pass the benefits to those who use them. Penny posted how to antique the bottles and I thought this would be a great idea to make them look more attractive. Crazy me, I forgot to take pictures of the bottle before I painted them, but here they are. WHAT DO YOU THINK????

This procedure makes them look old and rusty almost and the labels are perfect. This way not only I get to store my stuff in a much cooler container, but I can use them for halloween as well.

 I use deferent kind of bottles and jars that I've recycled and sterilized for the purpose of re using them again.

this is what the jars look like before I got started. 

And ready for display.
