Fall is in the air and Halloween is nearly here. If you are looking for ways to decorate your home for the season, then look no further. Halloween Apothecary Jars make for a cute table or mantel idea. It’s an easy craft and costs very little to do. You can purchase jars at the Dollar store or recycle ones you already have. Use wooden candlestick holders to prop them on. Fill them with orange candy or other items such as fake spiders or pumpkins.
You can use this idea for other occasions by switching out the decorations. For example you could use Christmas candies to fill your apothecary jar over the festive season. They really are a wonderful way to decorate your home quickly. So check out these ideas for inspiration.
Apothecary jars are a fun and festive way to display Halloween treats.
