19. Apothecary Test Tube Spice Rack
Add a functional yet delightfully spooky touch to your kitchen with an apothecary-style test tube spice rack. Purchase a wooden test tube holder and paint or stain it a dark, distressed walnut color. Fill glass test tubes with vibrant, colorful spices like bright orange turmeric, deep red paprika, coarse black lava salt, and dried green herbs. Label each tube with vintage-style labels using names like “Dragon’s Blood,” “Swamp Moss,” or “Dust of Mummy.” Seal the tubes with cork stoppers. This project serves as a fantastic, interactive conversation piece for guests during autumn dinner parties and adds a subtle touch of mad science to your daily cooking.
