How to Make Potion Jars Video
Watch the video below to see just how I make these Halloween potion jars. You will not believe how easy it is!
If you can’t watch the video or missed some of the steps, read below for the simple step by step instructions which also includes how to use Cricut Print then Cut to make the labels.
Instructions
You can make these labels by printing them and then cutting them out with scissors, or you can put your Cricut to work.
Step 1 – Download printable
Start by downloading the free printable from above and saving them to your computer or phone.
Step 2 – Upload to Cricut Design Space (if using a Cricut)
Start by uploading the file into Cricut Design Space and using the tools to remove the background from the file.
Upload the file as a flat graphic so you can create them as a Print Then Cut project, then click Continue.
The file will automatically appear on the canvas. It will upload larger than it should be and you may not need all of the labels. The file has three copies of each label.
I added a rectangle behind the bottom 6 labels, selected everything and clicked “Slice”.
After the slice, I was able to delete the sliced labels and the rectangle, leaving the top six labels. After measuring my bottles, I resized them to about 1.5″ in diameter.
Step 3 – Print the labels
No matter the method you choose to use, print the labels on a full sheet of kraft paper labels.
When I clicked Make, I was able to fit two sets of labels on one sheet of kraft sticker paper. Click Continue and then print the potion labels.
Step 4 – Cut labels
If using scissors, cut around the labels. If you are using your Cricut, place the printed sheet on your cutting mat and run them through your machine.
Step 5 – Distress
Now you get to make these look spooky. Get out your distressing ink and add it to the edges of the labels. This makes the labels look like they really are aged and not just “printed”.
Step 6 – Finish the bottles
Peel and stick the circle to the front of the mini milk bottles. Then, using hot glue, attach the skulls to the cork topper. Fill them with glitter, beads, candy, anything that you want!
Set these around your home for a small frightening addition to your home decor.
So easy, right? I don’t know why I didn’t make these years ago. I love adding something frightening to my home for Halloween night and these really fit the bill. Plus, they are so easy to make, it’s scary!
