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.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
