Halloween Apothecary Jars

 

I love Halloween decorations.  The combination of black with bright colors really makes an impact and it allows me to embrace my funky side with no judgment. 🙂  I got the inspiration for these Halloween apothecary jars from Pinterest but the original pin isn’t available anymore.

Here’s what you’ll need…

Here’s how you’ll make them…

  • The first thing you’ll need to do is paint your surfaces with the Rustoleum spray paint….the finials,  jar lids and candle holders.  The first time I made these I purchased the unfinished wooden candle holders and painted them.  The second time, I purchased black pillar candle holders I found at the 99 Cent store.  Either option works great.

  • Cut out the Silhouette letters and spider webs using black permanent vinyl.

 

  • Clean and dry the glass jars.
  • Place the vinyl letters on the glass jars and position the spider webs above the “O”s.
  • With the E6000, adhere the finials to the jar lids.

Candy!

Now it’s time to fill the jars with candy corn!  Here’s a little trick…  Instead of buying 40 pounds of candy corn, place a glass upside down inside the jar to fill up empty space.  But even with the glass inside the jar, each jar held a 22oz bag of candy corn.  Of course, if you want to buy 40 pounds of candy corn there is no judgment here!  I love candy corn!  But I admit I’m a candy corn snob.  It has to be Brach’s.  But I digress…

Once the jars were filled with candy, I adhered the jars to the candle holders.

All done!
