I took a Hartley Peach Brandy bottle – emptied by myself and my special gentleman friend – and I turned it into a Health Potion ala Dungeons and Dragons. My son asked me to make him a prop for his Twitch stream : Grim Commando 95, and we both chose the potion bottle.
I watched Darkest Raven Designs make her potion bottles, and I copied it only on a large scale. I also didn’t age or label the bottle because my son wanted something simple and basic. For the potion itself, I used:
Glycerin
Red Mica Powder
Water
For the bottle, I used
Push Button light
Foam
Cardboard
Mod Podge
Glue
Acrylic Paint in Brown and Black
Tissue Paper
The end results:
I know these aren’t the greatest pictures, and I really wish I had a decent way to make a video of it because the potion swirls inside and looks really cool with the light shining on it from below.
This is my first time ever doing something like this, and my son was pleased with the result so, I’m happy with how it came out. I’ll be doing more projects with bottles including making a Mana Potion prop for his stream. That will be a while because I want to get a few things to try out with it first.
More great projects are in the works, and I’ll be sharing them with you as I get them done just because I can!! LOL
See you on the flipside and don’t forget your towel and sonic screwdriver!!
