I am loving how versatile these Apothecary Jars are! Here I have them dressed up as Halloween Apothecary Jars! So much fun to make them all festive and happy for the holidays!
Remember my Apothecary Jars I made a couple months back? No? Well then, let me remind you! Here they are! Full of School Spirit!
One I filled with Candy Corn, a Halloween staple! The second I filled with little pumpkin treat containers. The last one I filled with these cute little Halloween cupcakes wrappers!
Also want to know a trick about filling the candy corn one? Well I didn’t want to have to buy 7 bags of candy in order to fill it and make it look really full. So I simply inserted a drinking glass upside down to fill the center of the jar and then filled the area outside the drinking glass with the candy corn! I only used 1 bag and had some left over for snacking! (now you see my reasoning don’t you!)
You can use almost anything in the center, I like using glass in a glass container because it’s clear and doesn’t show! So there you have them! Fully of Halloween fun! I am already thinking up their contents for Turkey Day! This is the craft project that just keeps on giving! I like those types! Now that I have refilled them, they seem all new and exiting again! I am a simple woman and that makes my day!

Hello. I think I saw your apothecary jars on Pinterest. So pretty. I have 2 boys so I think the best thing about making my own jars is if they break it I won’t freak out over the expense. I’m a new follower. I would love it if you returned the favor.
