3. Notice how all of my bottles were originally clear. That wasn't gonna fly for mucky Halloween! I went on and found this tutorial on how to tint glass bottles/jars. This next information is what I feel is important if you're needing to do this as well:
- I did this treatment 6 times (each bottle one time, except one I re-colored again) and each bottle had major streaking. The author of the tutorial claims her way will prevent streaking, but I couldn't get it to work. But lucky for me, it only added to my grimy Halloween look! So it ended up being awesome, but I wouldn't try this if I wanted it perfect.
- Her measurements are great and same with the oven temperature and time. Mine streaked so much I wonder if I should've changed her first 3 minutes to 2 minutes before flipping them over. If there is a next time, I will try that.
4. Print your labels on sticker paper. You can find it at most stores like Walmart or Amazon. Cut them out and see which labels look best on the bottles you have. After you figure it out, tape them on the bottle so you know which one is which. Or write it down so you don't mix them up because you will need to remove the label to paint and bake it.

5. Prep your work area and make sure you have newspaper to protect your surface. I had some leftover packaging paper that ended up being awesome because I wrote notes on it as I worked.

That's not blood - it's red food coloring. And I never used the toothpicks... I don't know why they are there.

 6. Follow the directions on coloring the jars/bottles.
7. Here are how mine turned out. You really do need to go heavy on the food coloring to get dark colors. This is how many drops I did for mine to give you a better idea:
- Blue: 26 blue, 1 red, 2 yellow
- Dark green (I originally was going for green and instead it turned into a bright, faded green. So I re-colored this one and tried going for brown.): 3 green, 24 blue, 6 yellow, 23 red
- Orange (I was going for yellow, but it turned orange): 5 yellow, 1 red (I didn't write this down, but I think that's what I did.)
- Green (Again, I tried going for brown and it ended up green): same as previous brown, but not as many blues and reds
- Dark purple: 28 red, 15 blue
8. While your bottles cool off, paint any finishing touches you need to do. I painted my lids to make them look more rustic and old. I also painted the "Horn Dust of a Unicorn" jar grey on the inside to make it look older. I made cuts into my new corks to also roughen them up.

9. When your bottles are cooled off, grab your Modge Podge. Peel off the stickers and place them onto your bottles and jars. Smooth them out. Some of them may get a little crinkly as they try to mold onto crevasses or on rounded edges. It only adds charm! Brush on some Modge Podge on the stickers so they're sure to stay in place.
11. The bottles/jars are supposed to dry for 24 hours, so when that time is up, here comes the fun part: filling up the bottles/jars! Here is what I used for my pretend fillers:
 - "Bone Powder:" Baking soda.
 - "Horn Dust of the Unicorn:" salt and gold glitter. Could also use sugar and/or silver glitter.
 - "Toadstool Clippings:" dry white beans, large and normal sized (Great Northern Beans, would be my best guess.)
- "Snake Venom:" empty. I didn't want to put actual liquid in here because I didn't want to risk a leak, so I tried seeing what a piece of paper would look like, if it could fake the look of liquid, and it doesn't work. It looks like a message in a bottle.
 - "Arsenic Poison:" also empty
 - "Feathers of the Crow:" bag of feathers from the craft store
 - "Tarantula Legs:" cut up pieces of brown pipe cleaners
12. After the bottles are full, hot glue the lids/corks on. I didn't want to risk having baking soda spilled all over when I pack them up, so these suckers are in there fo' life!
 And that is how it's done!
