These are just old bottles I picked up on the side of the street. They can be used just for decoration or you can put a candle in them. They are especially cute if you let the candle drip down the sides.

Materials:
old beer bottle or other small bottle.
glass paint
corks
raffia
clear satin spray paint
small round piece of felt for bottom.
Instructions:
Clean bottle with hot soapy water. Let dry. Wipe with alcohol.
Paint entire bottle with black glass paint. You'll probably need about three coats for good coverage. Be sure to let totally dry between coats.
Paint your ghosts and pumpkins with white and orange paint. Again you'll need several coats to cover.
Paint on large "boo". (You can barely see this on the sides of the bottle.)
Let it all dry for about a day, then spray with the clear paint.
Tie raffia around the top and insert corks.
Glue felt to bottom of bottle.
I can't paint enough of these. Everyone loves them! Try them with the candles, too.
