Magic Potion Ingredient Labels
; "Pinterest"){kind=small}
While trying to come up with some new decorating ideas for Halloween, I was inspired by the idea of magic potions that wizards and witches use in their spells. Any good potion is made up of some fantastical ingredients, so I thought I'd made some fun labels that celebrate those ingredients in style. I decided to go with a look that was based on vintage apothecary labels, and I really used my imagination for the names of the ingredients. You can find out printable vintage magic potion ingredient labels is available in our Etsy store.
First, I started with a collection of bottles and vials. To gather these, I just walked around my house, looking for interesting containers.
Then I just printed the labels onto sheets of sticker paper, cut them out, and stuck them on the labels. So little effort for such a big impact, don't you think?
I created 12 fun ingredients, including some common ones like Truth Syrum and Eye of Newt. I also got a little creative with Shrinking Solution, Graveyard Dirt, and Spider Parts. But the best part about our printable set is that these are customizable apothecary labels! You can create your own labels for anything you want, and even create a custom "Property of" label for your potion box.
It was pretty fun to find things to fill the bottles with, too. Can you guess what the "eye of newt" is? It's some silica gel that I emptied from little packets. And that "witch's blood" is a bottle of maple syrup I had in the pantry. I just soaked it in water to remove the existing label and added a new one. I love it!
These labels also work great for beer bottles. Just soak the labels off of beer (or soda) bottles and replace them with new ones. Liquid ingredients like "Truth Syrum" work especially well as printable beer bottle labels for a grown-up Halloween party.
