Halloween ~ Printable Potion Labels

Halloween Party Details ... it's all in the details people.....

I knew I wanted to create labels to cover all of my existing spices and just cool looking bottles I have saved for this very occasion. I found this to be quite time consuming so after creating two labels I began searching for free printables and I found two sites that had exactly what I was looking for and for FREE.
Thank you to all 3 sites for sharing!!!! Now I share on.....

This is an awesome detail to add to your decor... It has been funny cooking now... we have to remember things like Root of Hemlock is really pepper and the Venom is vanilla.
