I had a few bits and scraps of lace leftover fromour Charlotte’s Web inspired costume and some bottles from the dollar bin and I thought I would make fun DIY decoupage black lace witchy Halloween bottles and add some spray painted dried flowers from the yard. I always love a good decoupage project, there is nothing like picking Mod Podge off your fingers for days afterwards. 🙂 We made 3 for a grouping, but you could make an entire apothecary with this upcycled craft.
Supplies to Make Your Own B Lack Lace Witchy Decoupage Bottles
To make these fabric lace decoupage spooky bottles you’ll need:
-ecoupage medium like Mod Podge
-Tacky white craft glue or glitter glue
-Glass bottles store bought or recycled bottles
-Black lace
-Black fine glitter
-Brushed
-Scissors
-Interesting dried flowers and stalks
Measure the Lace on the Bottles
It’s easier to place the lace around the bottle before gluing than trying to figure out if it fits after applying the decoupage medium. This can also be done in sections of lace and patched over if one piece doesn’t fit around the entire surface.
Apply Decoupage Medium to the Bottle
Paint the bottle with decoupage medium, covering the entire surface. Lay the lace over the top of the bottle and then paint with another layer of Mod Podge to press the lace flat.
Add the Black Glitter to the Bottle
Once the decoupage medium is brushed over the top. Sprinkle the fine. black glitter over the top while it’s still wet. Shake off any excess and return to the bottle. Let the bottle dry for at least 24 hours before handing. A spray sealer can be added at this time if desired to keep some of the glitter from shedding. If you don’t want glitter, you can skip it, but if you do want a little sparkle after the mod podge dries, paint white craft glue onto the bottles and sprinkle the glitter.

Add the Dried Flowers and Display
While the decoupaged bottles dried, I spray painted and glittered my dried flower heads. I just sniped some coneflowers from my backyard, but store bought dried flowers would also be pretty in these witchy bottles.
I gave them a coat of gold spray paint and then used the craft glue and gold glitter to make them a bit fancier. If you don’t have those, you could use sticks or even pom poms.
I ended up displaying them on a craft wood slice clustered together with a few pumpkins for a fun and spooky Halloween look.
I like the sparkle the glitter gives them and lightens all of the dark lace. Mod Podge and decoupage are such a fun way to add embellishments to items, like these dried flower decoupage pumpkins.
If you think you are going to use real flowers with water in them, use a sealer on the outside like an outdoor varnish to make them just a bit more durable. Also, don’t immerse them in water when cleaning.
I think bigger bottles would be fun too to make DIY decoupage black lace Halloween bottles. It would be pretty to also do this on recycled jars, or with white lace for the holidays. I like that it’s so versatile!
