Thread: what do you put in potion bottles?

Tweet

There are several awesome threads in the recent years that have so many great label and content ideas for potion bottles or mad scientist jars.

Using the search button (located in the upper right) I looked for "potion bottle" and "bottle label" and found:

Question, where do you get highlighter ink?

You could put little creepy shrunken heads in them

You crack open a highlighter, pull out the ink thing (I believe it's a piece of thick felt or similar) and soak it in water.

You could buy some of pig ear chew toys for dogs and paint them black and call them dried bat wings.

I don't think this is anything new, but I use a couple of those little 'stick them in water and watch them grow 5 times their size!' toys. Right now I have a mermaid that I repainted (er, sort of. More like stained with whatever I could find that didnt flake off in the water) and a snake in a glass cookie jar that's about 3 feet long.

Where can I buy little potion bottles?

I use those snap glow sticks and cut them open and pour them in to cool bottles and jars!!! BTW even though they say on them, non toxic, non flamable, may stain cloth, I have found out and did some research and the spent liquid is highly FLAMABLE , even though they say it is not!! the byproduct is!! I know this because i was pouring them and spilled one and wiped it up and threw the towel in my fire pit and it burst in to flames with black smoke!!! They work great just keep it away from flames!!!
BTW again they smell really bad, don't smell it, But if you put a cork on the bottle and you can keep the spent liquid as just color it's cool too!!

Yea you can do the highlighter trick, but it's much easier if you go online and buy GLOW Water. It is the same stuff just in bigger quantities. I did the highlighter thing and it was kind of a pain.
The glow water works good and is easier to use. You just pour it out of a vial.
