Ghostly Greetings Potion Bottles
Tutorial by Paul Ford
“Hi everyone. Paul here once again and ready to play with Ghostly Greetings – the new Spooky Collection from Graphic 45. I love making treat holders and this is definitely one of my favourites. I wanted to create a potion bottle that had a unique shape. I love the removable lid and the way the top part is narrower than the main body. A subtle touch but makes such a difference.” ~Paul

Tip for Crafters:
For a hauntingly beautiful finish, use inked edges and distressed layers from the Ghostly Greetings Patterns & Solids set. Add metal charms, twine, or acetate labels for a realistic “apothecary” touch. Don’t forget to personalize your bottle labels using ephemera pieces or stamps for a collector’s-cabinet feel!
