I want to start making potion bottles for my Halloween collection and have a ton of ideas thanks to you all but I still have one main question. What do you use for the liquid so that I do not have to empty out and refill every year. I read that someone used light hair gel because it lasts longer than water... are we talking that it will last 3-5 years or just the entire month? Someone else mentioned adding dish washing soap and another added salt and vinegar to their water to make it last long without getting moldy. Ideally, I will want something that will last about 3+ years. Have any of you had any luck with liquid filled ones lasting years?
Try tea tree oil in the water. It's a all natural oil extract that acts as an anti fungal. I know of people who use in water fountains to prevent slime.
