I tried spraypaint that makes glass look frosted. Better...
I really like the final result.

Vintage Hair Tonic Bottles Altered Into Halloween Apothecary Jars
My husband snagged about 16 hair tonic bottles from a flea market on 8.16.14. Only six had their original labels and stoppers. The other ten had a great shape, but really no value. Just in time for Halloween. Last year I altered about 100 bottles, so I thought ten should be a snap. The only thing...some of them were discolored on the inside. So, what about my go-to flat black spraypaint?
Last year I used free printable apothecary labels off the internet. It was kind of a pain cutting and attaching.
I found corks and some great adhesive backed apothecary labels at Michael's. The labels were transparent, so the flat black paint wouldn't work.
Maybe some gray spraypaint over top. Nice, but kind of flat color. How about a light spray of flat black paint on three sides to age them up a bit. Bingo.
