DIY Harry Potter Potion Bottles

Hey, guys. How are you all doing? Anyways I was at my local craft and saw these really cute bottles and thought they would make a good DIY project. I also thought that you guys can come along on this journey with me and learn how to make them yourself.




Items you need:

• Glass bottle - I frosted glass bottles by Ashland. One in blue and one in green. 

• Cotton Balls - Saw this in a buzzfeed DIY and thought I would give it a try. Plus I thought it would protect the glass a little if it walls
• Glow in the dark stones - Was going to use glow in the dark paint but I wanted the liquid to be clear

• Food colouring 
• Water
• Liquid measuring cup
• Ribbon or string
• Paper
• Colouring Materials  
• Stencils unless you have really nice handwriting

Step One:

The first step is deciding what potions you want to make. I choose a blue bottle and a green bottle. After I looked up different Harry Potter potions and tried to find ones that matched the bottles. I choose to go with poly juice and unicorn blood. 


Step Two:

First I Separated the cotton balls into smaller pieces.

Then I filled the jars with a mixture of glow in the dark stones and cotton balls.


Step Three:

Next I took the measuring cup and filled it up with water.
Next I took the food colouring, put in a couple drops and then mixed it up. 


Step Four:

Next I poured the liquid mixture into the jars and put the cork back on.

Step Five:

The last a final step is making a label. Now you could put a label right on the bottle but I wanted as much as the bottle showing as possible. So I decided I was going to tie a label around the top of the bottle.

To make the label, first I took some paper and cut it to the size I wanted. Next I took my stencils and wrote out the names with a black sharpie. You could also use any colouring materials you want to make the labels. I wanted my labels to be nice a simple. While making my labels, I accidentally got some food colouring on it but I thought it looked cool so I went with it. Lastly, I used a hole punch to make a hole in the labels. Then I attached it with coloured ribbon and tied it to the bottles.

Here are some pictures of the final results of the bottles:

What did you guys think of this DIY? Should I do more of them? Leave a comment down letting me. See you all next week.
