HALLOWEEN
As promised, I am sharing a fun Halloween Printable today! I have always wanted to have a Halloween Potions Book to be able to display as part of our Halloween Apothecary, which I like to pull out every year. I had looked around for one but only found ones that didn’t really fit what I had been picturing in my mind…Does that ever happen to you?
I always like things that look authentic, rather than plastic-y, so I finally decided it was time to try to make my own. I am really happy with how it turned out!
POISON AND POTIONS BOOK
The first thing I did was head to the Thrift Store. My on a mission to find some OLD looking books with a black hard cover. I was looking for the standard size book so that I could make a cover that would fit it easily with a regular sheet of printer paper. I found THREE books that were perfect. The edges of the book paper was turning yellow and there were a few stains and tears…perfect for portraying a centuries old Poisons & Potions Book!

You can see the other two books in the pictures. I made another Spells and Enchantment Book that I will also be sharing a printable for! Yay!!
The Spells and Enchantments Book can be downloaded here:

HOW TO MAKE A POTION BOOK
The Potions Book is really easy to make and literally just takes minutes to make.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Print on Regular White Paper (the front and back book covers).
2. Cut around the book cover with scissors.
3. Place the front cover on the front of your book and make sure you have enough paper to go around the back spine of your book so there is some overlap onto the back of the book.
4. Then fold the front cover around the front of the book.
5. Take the back cover and glue it onto the folded portion of the front cover on the backside of the book.
6. Wrap the back of the book cover around the bottom flap of the book.
*I crumpled the book cover just a bit and added a couple of tiny tears to give the Potions Book a weathered look too.
That is it!! Easiest project ever!!!
HALLOWEEN APOTHECARY JARS
I found the crow at the Dollar Store and knew he had to be a part of our Halloween Apothecary! You can keep the bottles each year and then pull them out and add colored water or the fun and creepy insects which I have also found at the Dollar Store. I was super excited to find some rubber earth worms from the Dollar Store as well this year! The Love Potion #9 printable was from a Valentine’s Day post that I shared a while ago, but also can work for your Halloween Apothecary.
I found some eyeball gumballs here on Amazon. I will be sharing a post with another Halloween project using these same eyeball gum balls at a later time too…so stay tuned for that!
This spider is so cute…well…if spiders can be cute. I made this by simply painting a flat round rock black and then gluing some bent bobby pin legs to the bottom of the spider!

I’m unable to get the link for the Potions book printable to work!
Did you get it to work Sandy? Let me know if you still need any help!!
i can’t get to the Potions & Poisions page either!!!! LOVE the spells and enchantments – had the perfect size book! HELP.
Hello- I can’t seem to get the Poisons and Potions spell book cover page?
Love it! Thank you! Where did you get the Shakespeare print?
I made that and will be sharing that here soon as well! :)
Amy I can’t get the book covers to download, HELP PLEASE
This is so cute! I can’t wait to get all my Halloween decorations up this year, and you’ve definitely inspired me to add a little extra to our setup!
Thank you so much Vanessa! You are so sweet! Nothing like having them up in September right?! :)
When you say “regular white paper” do you mean 8.5″ x 11″ paper? Or should we go bigger? It isn’t printing correctly for me yet…I think I need to do landscape but the size seems small. Let me know what you can.
Thanks
Yes…an 8.5 x 11 paper. You should be printing it landscape and the front page cover should measure 10.75 inches x 8.3 inches to be the size I created. Hope that helps!
Yes it does. Thanks for posting this. Love it,
SO fun!! Pinned :)
xoxo
Thanks so much Jen!
Thank you!! I have pinned a bunch of these so I can print something out to put on a book, but this is the best by far! I love that I can print it out on white paper. Yay!! Making some today :)
So happy to hear that! Thanks so much for the sweet comment! Enjoy them!
LOVE this!!! Looks so good!!
Thank you so much Lindsay! Always good to see you!
These are AWESOME! I can’t wait to decorate for Halloween!!
Thank you so much Pam!! xo
LOVE it and will totally be printing out soon. Thanks!
Positively wicked!!! Thank you so much for sharing! (My girlfriend and I are in a competition to see who can deck our house out the most for Halloween and I think you just gave me the edge!) I can’t wait to see your other Halloween prints.
haha! Yay! Sharing the other printable cover tomorrow! So be sure to check back in! What a fun little competition!
Love the poisons and potions book cover!!
I printed it and it looks great!
I also love the Spells and Enchantments book cover!! ‘hint’ ;)
haha! Yay! So glad you loved it! I am sharing the Spells one on the 25th…hint taken :)
Would love your Spells and Enchantment cover!
Thanks Barb! I am sharing it on the 25th!
Super cute printables for the Halloween decorations. Hate that you have to have social media to get them. As not everyone participates.
lovely printable! So sad that you need to be on Facebook to get them :(
These labels AND the book covers project you also posted look like such fun. I’m on Pinterest quite a lot, but don’t have (or want) a Facebook account. Is there any other way you’d be willing to share these downloads besides a Facebook “like”? I’m sure I’d have rave reviews to post here and on Pinterest if you’d be willing to suggest a way for non-Facebook folk to get your downloads. Thank you.!
I agree with the others. I had a lot of problems with my Facebook account a year ago and deleted it. No longer am on FB so I can’t print these beautiful printables! I adore Pinterest and am on Twitter, any chance we can still share in on the fun of your Halloween ideas? Just love them!
I have been looking and trying to create potion and spell book covers and yours are exactly what I wanted. Maybe I am crazy, but I can’t find the link. Can you email it to me?
Thanks.
I love all of your stuff. So glad I came across it.
Really want your Eye’s of newt and other apothecary Lables pictured here. Where did you get those?
The Eye’s of Newt printable is from Martha Stewart and the other printables are from around the internet. Google printable Halloween labels and you should find a lot.
I love, love , love that spider!!!!!
Every time I click on the potions book link it takes me to a new page then that link goes to another page…its like a never ending loop :( I cant get to the download to print it. Can you help?
You need to click on the link that says printable…see if that helps
I can’t get it to print either. Cannot find the link to the printable anywhere! I got tyne Spells and Enchantments but cannot get the potions one to work :(
I keep clicking on the link for the Poisons and Potions label, but a new window with the same page keeps opening up without the printable label…How can I get a free book cover?
I’m stuck, too. I can’t get the potions cover t to your FB page or elsewhere.
I can’t print either….FB page is blank
Not sure what is going on. It seems to be working fine for me. Are you using a desktop or laptop. Sometimes mobile devices don’t work as well.
I cannot print either as the FB page is blank

I am still trying to get the potions book cover to print. I go to the fb and into downloads. It takes me to the page where I can download the spells (which I did and I luv it ) but not a place to download the potion cover. I have tried it on my computer and laptop with the same results. I’d luv to get it too. Thank you for the cute things you share.
Hi Amy!
This is so adorable! I liked your FB page but didn’t get a notification for a free gift. How can I get to the downloads page? Thank you!
Thank you so much for your awesome ideas! This is really helpful! Will surely use this again! Highly recommended!
Allyssa- Thank you.
Love these!! I definitely don’t have any books that look like this for decor, so I am doing this asap!
Natalie- Glad you like them.
Very easy & festive!! We have done this to a few of our books! It’s a great touch!
Kristyn- It really is a great touch.
