A DIY CrAzY easy ~ Halloween Decorative Bottles*


Something fun to do with the kiddo's or your gal pals!
We gypsies find this to be one of the easiest - quickest and fun Halloween decoration to add to any area of your home.  Place decal to any size wine bottle and take it to a haunted party for the host!
We found the small decals at a local $ store- and the large decals we found at a craft shop.
(AC MOORE)
We used a mayo jar, an old vintage bottle we purchased for $2, and an Italian water bottle (blue) for our decals.   
**When adding your decals~~ be sure the jar is completely dry~~then add your decal.   
The decals adhere rather quickly, so be sure your bottle does not roll from you!   
Candles, dried flowers, painted black twigs & candy are some fun items you can add to your Halloween bottle!

DIY easy peasy Halloween idea!
