Welcome to the first official (publicized) post of Somewhere Splendid! It’s nearly Halloween, and I’m excited to be having my first trick-or-treaters at our house this year! We won’t be throwing a party (at least not this year) but I thought I’d start off with a cute little printable that you can share with your guests. Enjoy!
supplies
- white printer paper
- this PDF printable
- double stick tape
- two ounce corked bottles (ours available here from SKS Bottle)
- bulk Pop Rocks candy or loose rock candy crystals
- kitchen funnel
instructions
Print labels onto white paper and trim to size. Place strips of double stick tape down the left and right sides, then add two strips in an “X” shape through the middle. (Alternatively, you can print the PDF on a full sheet label paper and cut to size.) Apply label to the bottle and roll back and forth to affix firmly.
Using a kitchen funnel, fill each jar with Pop Rocks or loose rock candy crystals. We recommend one flavor for each of the three label styles provided on the document.
* SKS Bottle provided samples for this DIY project, but I was not otherwise compensated for this post.

Congrats! I’ve been keeping an eye out since mine went live today too. We gotta stick together
Love the new site and those DIY bottles are adorable! Great idea 
Hey! Came from the inspired bride. I love what you’ve blogged so far and can’t wait to read what you’ve got coming up. Oh and these bottles are cool! Thanks for sharing!
How much Pop Rocks do you use? I see that the regular packs are only 0.33 ounces…do you really need 6 regular packets to fill just one of the bottles?
Hi Rachel – it took me about 2 to fill each, but I may have had a different size from you. I would recommend buying in bulk. I’ve seen them available out of the packets (just the powder) online but if you can’t find that, I suggest using loose rock candy crystals instead.
This looks so fun, and actually something that our friends would enjoy too! Gotta plan a party so I can try out all these darling projects!
LOVE this idea – simply charming! Mind if I borrow a photo (with appropriate links and credits, of course!) to post about it on my blog too?
So very clever!
Hey – sure, you’re more than welcome to use it. Thank you for asking!
Great posted,It is very useful thank you……
What size of bottle did you use? Went to the wesite…but they have a 1oz., 2oz. & a 1/2 oz. bottle. What size of bottle fits the label you provided? Thanks so much!!
Hi! I’m writing for a blog and was going to write a post soon. I was wondering if it would be alright if I used your photos? Thank you very much!
Oh, that label is beautiful! What a great idea!
