Halloween Bottles

I was reading my October issue of Country Living and was totally inspired.  What do you think?




I think they are cute.




This is what I was drooling over and fell in love with the pottery. I really wanted to come up with something similar.




I just took some bottles (love bottles and jars) and took the labels off.




I took them outside and shot them with Rust-oleum heirloom white.




I gave them a couple of coats and let them dry completely.



I found and printed some free Halloween printables.



Then, I copied the images onto some velum paper.



Cut them out and glued them on.  I just used some tacky glue.  I let the ink dry for a long time and applied the glue to the inked side.  I am going to modge podge them when the glue dries.  I was too excited and wanted to take some pictures first (I may just leave them too).  To get the clip art I used, please go to Nest of Posies.  She has a really cool blog.



I am very pleased with the way they turned out. 



Happy Haunting.
Rhonda
