Make Your Own Potion Bottles With Free Label SVG Files

Supplies:

Glass bottles. I purchased mine from Dollar Tree. I bought the larger glass bottles that come in a 6 pack.

My free SVG file labels. You can find them by heading over to my library.
- Get Library password
- I already have the password. Send me straight to the library.

White sticker label vinyl. I used the one I purchased from Dollar Tree. You just need to let the marker ink dry for a long time before you touch them.

0.4 thick black Cricut marker.

A funnel and a mechanical pencil may be useful to help you get the ingredients into the bottles.

Hot glue and glue gun to secure the bottles close

Supplies to go inside each bottle:
- Owl Feathers
  1. White feathers from my pillow, or you can buy some feathers
- Witches broom
  1. Twigs from outside
  2. Unravel some twine, or cut a few pieces off a broom

  2. water
  3. extra fine white glitter

  1. Flour, that you bake with

  1. Round sequins of your choice of colors. I did mostly green, with a few other colors thrown in.

The first step is to make the labels for the potion bottles. You will first need to download my free SVG file I made from my library. You can find them here. Once you download them and upload them in Cricut design space, there are just a few steps you will need to do before they are ready to be made. You can use other cutting machines and programs to make these labels. I will only be walking you though what to do to prepare them in Ciruct design space. If you need help uploading something to Cricut design space, then please head over to this blog post.

If you are a visiual person, then head over to my YouTube channel to watch me walk you through the few steps to prepare your labels. If you would rather read the steps, then please see the next paragraph.

You will first want to select ungroup. This will allow us to make changes to each label and size. Next, with your mouse drawl a square around one of the labels to highlight/select all pieces inside one of the labels. Then hit the drop-down button under operations (upper left hand of screen) and select pen under the draw section. Now select/click on only the most outer edge of the label, and click basic cut in that same drop-down tab. This will tell Cricut to cut out the outer most label, which is the boarder of our sticker/label and to use the marker to drawl everything else onto the sticker/label paper. I also like to change the outer layer to the color white so we can see all of our designs inside. A few of the designs moved the words to the back most layer. So, if you change the last boarder to white, and you only see the image, not the words, do not worry. The words are just behind the outer label. They are fine like this, but if you would like to see them on your page, then while the outer most layer is selected, just click arrange, at the top of the page, and then click send to back. This will move that outer layer behind the words so you can see them.

Just a few more steps left. Select the entire label, by drawling a square around it with your mouse. Then go to the bottom right side of the page and click attach. This will tell Cricut Design Space you want all these pieces done in the same spot on your mat. If you do not click attach, then the drawling parts will not be placed where the Cricut cuts the outline. The fine step is to resize your label to fit your bottles. So, while the entire label is selected, click and change the size of the label at the top of the page. For my bottles I changes the height to be 1.5 inches tall, which then changed the width accordingly. If the little lock icon by the size is closed, then it will change your other diminution in proportion to the one you change. Now, just make these small changes to the other labels, and click make it.

I used the white sticker label vinyl from Dollar Tree to make my labels. This vinyl has lots of wrinkles in it, which is why I think all my label designs got slightly shifted/off. With this vinyl it also takes a very long time for the marker ink to dry. So, if you use this material, then do not touch the wet ink for a few hours or even let them sit overnight. I used white label sticker as my setting, and it cut the labels out completely.

Now that our labels are done, and set off to the side to dry, it is time to fill our bottles. Here is what I filled each bottle with. Feel free to add what you have.

Supplies to go inside each bottle:

Owl Feathers
1. White feathers from my pillow, or you can buy some feathers
Witches broom
1. Twigs from outside Unravel some twine, or cut a few pieces off a broom
Poison
1. Bright green paint water extra fine white glitter
Ground up bone powder
1. Flour, that you bake with
Snake venom
1. Elmer’s glue extra fine white glitter You can add a little water if you want it too not be as thick. I did not add water to mine.
Dragon Scales
1. Round sequins of your choice of colors. I did mostly green, with a few other colors thrown in.

I also applied a small amount of hot glue around the top/lip of each bottle, then put the cork on the bottle while the hot glue was still hot, to help secure the ingredients inside from leaking out. You could also tie some twine or something around the neck of the bottles, but I decided to leave mine plain.

I decided to make a small shelf like container to hold my potion bottles. I used this wooden box/decor piece I got from my $5 grab back from Michaels. If you did not see that video, then make sure you check it out by clicking here. I took off the girl power sign that was inside this piece. I was able to easily pull off the girl power sign. I sanded down the sign a little. I do not like to sand, so I decided the roughness gave it more character. I then water downed some dark brown paint to make the outside edges of this piece a little darker. I then painted the inside of this piece a dark blue color.

I had my fiancé drill a small hole through the back of this wood piece, so I could feed some fairy lights through. The string of fairy lights I had was very long, so I had to wrap them around several times. Originally I was only going to wrap the lights around once or twice and hot glue the lights around the edges so they were not very noticeable, but since this strand was so long, that was not going to work. So, I just wrapped the lights around the inside of the container and left them. They were not glued down at all. I then left the battery pack on the back of the piece. I thought about gluing this to the back of the piece, but since I ended up not gluing the lights down, I left the battery pack unglued as well. I may buy a smaller strand of fairy lights and properly glue everything down, but I do like how much light all these fairy lights give off. Help me decide please. Should I keep the lights as is, or should I get a smaller stand and hide them?

These were fun to make. I did the hard park of designing the labels for you. So, they should be quick and easy for you to make your own. Have you made your own potion bottles? If so, I would love to see how yours turned out and what you came up with. Which bottle is your favorite? I think favorite is probably the poison, which I did not expect that to be my favorite.
