I printed several of the skull labels (for multiple bottles) from Vintage Halloween Labels on orange card stock, cut out with my nesties and sponged the edges with black ink. On the top of the bottle, I used a circle of purple DP and one of the circular labels from the Halloween Odds & Ends freebie digi set Lindsay offered last week printed on orange paper. It looked a little plain so I added a button but I was thinking of making an eyeball using punches. (Too freaky??) Honestly, it took me less time to decorate the bottle than it did to get the original label and the gummy residue off of it. That is what is so great about the Vintage Halloween Labels set. You can do so much with them for a nice impact with out it taking a ton of time.
Here is a look at the entire set which can be used to make treat packaging, cards, or even jazz up the bottles and other items used at a Halloween party. Although coloring looks great, if you don't feel like it, a little sponging is just perfect for these labels.

This is a great idea, I can see these filled with candy at Xmas as well....hmmm...got me thinking now. Great job and perfectly decorated for Halloween.
Super cute and super spooky! What a fun combination.
Oh wow, this is fabulous! what a great idea!
I guess we had jars on the brain this week ;) Love the eyeballs and I wish I had thought about printing my labels out on something other than white...Love the orange!
I love this Cheryl! The tag looks awesome with the drippy glue punch and I love the embellishments on the cap. Where did you get those eyeballs! Too cool! ~Diane
haha, you and I had the same thoughts going this week! I love your jar
:)
Love your jar! They eyeballs are so creepy! If you had a little "collection" of these jars, you could set up Frankenstein's lab!
what a perfect halloween favor and deoration!
What a fun Halloween party favor. Thanks for playing along with the Creative Belli challenge!
Terrific project!!! I don't know anyone who drinks these or I'd be collecting all of them. maybe I should write me friends and ask. I love this :)

Thank you for participating in Sew Many Challenges this week!
Scary! Great project.
Hi Cheryl, great way to use up your empties, fabulous.
back soon love chris xx
Very cute!! You just gave me an idea too. For some reason my 80 year old grandmother gets such a kick out of Halloween candy that looks like eyes, especially these and the gum. She would love something like you made here.
Super CUTE Jar, I love the eyeballs inside of this tooo!!! :) hehehee very cute :)
Thank you for joining us at Little Paper Shops Color Challenge this week!!

Cheryl, this is soo awesome!! And the eyeballs are PERFECT!
Talk about a great recycling project! I love the eyeball candy you put inside. It is so perfect. By the way, there is a product called "Goof Off" that really works great on taking labels off. You can get it at hardware stores and most grocery stores. Best, Curt
Super Cute!! I keep those bottles too...they are my favorite dust collectors..hehe...maybe time to dust them off!
Awesome Halloween project!! Great idea using Starbucks bottle!
Love the recycled bottles. This looks adorable and yummy! I use Goo Be Gone on my bottles to remove labels.
LOVE it!!!!!! Here's a trick to get the label & residue off. I fill the sink with hot soapy water and then let the bottle soak. the label literally floats off (I leave the bottle in the full sink over night), then I run them with the dishes in the dishwasher, voila....all clean.
Seriously, awesome and love those eyeballs. :-)
Great project- I love this stamp set- I love the gooey punch under the image- great accent. Thanks for joining us at the Creative Belli Blog!
