Oh how I love apothecaries! This year I’m ratcheting up the creep factor
with a coffin shaped apothecary that has ravens for doors. The
project includes a video tutorial where I demonstrate how to assemble the
coffin using a free coffin template that you’ll find below. There are also some free images that I used
in my apothecary as well as a new Potion
Bottles Silhouette collage sheet and a digital
image set.
This sheet is filled
with potion bottle silhouettes. Several
of the images are sized to fit the coffin apothecary.
The digital image set contains 54 bottle
images. 27 bottles have
labels (the same as on the collage sheet) and 27 are blank. Add your own
labels to the blank ones, or use them for a different purpose such as perfume
bottles, or as a template to cut-out a piece of chipboard.

If you wish to
enlarge the template beyond what will fit on a single 8 1/2" x 11"
sheet of paper, download the separate template images.
