7 DIY Halloween Apothecary Jars

There are so many different ways to add to your Halloween decor, but before you go out buying more pumpkins and spiderwebs, read this post. Apothecary jars have been around for ages, but they are not always easy to come by.

At least not the originals.

These 7 Halloween bottle ideas are a great way that you can make your own Halloween Scary witch apothecary jars for a little extra spooky touch for Halloween. Such a great way to recycle glass jars and bottles too. Make sure you start saving your bottles early on in the year. When painting my DIY Apothecary jars I like to use Krylon spray paint as it gives great coverage. I use an old cardboard box as a painting booth to catch and overspray and then cleanup is easy, just throw away the box when you have finished your Apothecary bottles.

Natalka Studio is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a wide variety of cross stitch designs, including realistic, detailed designs with women doing various things, holiday patterns, geometrics and more.

One of the biggest categories in the shop is called girl cross stitch, which features detailed designs of women with flowing hair doing things like drinking coffee, dancing and carrying flowers. There are seasonal projects in this category as well as a couple having to do with hobbies.

I like the knitting one, of course, and almost shared the sewing one as the featured pattern above until I realized the thread is coming off a cone on the floor and there’s no pedal for running the machine.

The one I am sharing here isn’t actually in that category but it is really cute. Little Girl with Watermelon uses 21 colors and measures 73 by 73 stitches. That’s 5.21 inches or 13.3 cm square if you work it on 14 count fabric. I love her messy hair and the little dress and matching bows. You could also change the colors if you have a little girl who isn’t as into pink (or doesn’t have brown hair).

The largest category on the page is animals, and there you will find wild animals like monkeys, pandas and sloths; ocean creatures such as rays, an octopus and a blue tang fish; frogs, dogs and geese, among others.

There are also a lot of Christmas cross stitch patterns, which include a lot of traditional motifs and some more whimsical themes. I like this one of Santa resting by the fire with his boots off.

In addition to all these you’ll find pretty flowers, a bunch of mostly floral bookmarks, a whole big set of patterns with lemons, and a lot more. The fruits and berries section (if you like fruits other than lemons) would be perfect for decorating your kitchen or breakfast area.

Check out all the great patterns they have to offer at Natalka Studio on Etsy.
