18. Apothecary Test Tube Spice Rack of Horrors
Transform a simple wooden test tube holder into a mad scientist’s spice rack. Paint the wooden stand in a dark walnut stain or distressed black. Fill clear glass test tubes with various colorful, textured dry goods: red chili flakes labeled as “Crushed Dragon Scales,” black sesame seeds as “Flea Eyes,” coarse pink Himalayan salt as “Pulverized Bone,” and dried rosemary as “Rosemary Rosemary.” Seal each tube with a natural cork. This functional yet highly decorative piece can sit on your kitchen counter throughout October, adding a playful, scientific touch of Halloween spirit to your daily cooking routine.
