Welcome back my mini friends! My Apothecary needed more potion jars... and also more sparkle! I love to have eye-catching items in my minis and glitter is the perfect supply to use. I went to Etsy to link the seller that I used to buy my ultra-fine glitter from but she's no longer selling. She had the best colors.
These little jars are so fun to make. They don't require a ton of ingredients but do require a little bit of patience as the opening to the bottles is so small it takes a day or two for the glue to dry inside the bottle. You don't want to put the lid on without them being dry inside. These actually took three days. But that's ok because I've other things to do.
I purchased the tiny glass jars from Amazon. A couple of them I already had. I wound up buying some that were rounded on the bottom and wouldn't stand up. I glued a jewelry ring finding to the bottom and wha-la! Easy fix.
I used two drops of school glue and one drop of water in each jar. I mixed it together with a toothpick, put my finger over the opening and gave them a good shake to coat the inside of the jar. Sometimes you have to roll it around a bit to cover the entire inside.
Next, I carefully pour in very fine glitter. Be prepared to get some sparkle everywhere! :)
I found some apothecary jar labels online. It doesn't matter to me exactly what they say. When they are in the display you can't read them anyway.
After that just use what you have to embellish the jars. I painted the corks, glued sparkly string and used tiny rhinestones to give each bottle it's own flare.
These are the "shop made" specialty potions. Slightly tacky but very powerful!
Have a wonderful day! Thanks so stopping by!

How lovely! It would also be a great way to make "bath salts" :)
