I'm getting my own house delivered in 2022 and I want to have some kind of druidic/alchemy shelf in my kitchen with all kind of "magic potions". I couldn't find what i exactly want so I'm giving a try of DIY.
I want this to be all homemade with love so I'm not watching any tutorial I'm all trial and error.

First time showing this btw, i want to gift some to my closest friends so even they don't know.

Mixtures test, personal secret recipe.

After 24 hours, left one is the winner \o/

Bottled. I've ordered these special bottles in large command from a German bottle maker, if work well I'll order différents shapes.

Now adding more details to the bottle. Red rope, it's an health potion after all.

Need to tighten and even more details... Hmm.

What about some phoenix feathers ? (tinted rooster feathers, red, dark red, pale red)

Was too long, tail cut, glued and tighten with the red rope.

Looking good, i personally love the details gained from adding more ropes to tighten the feathers

Just a little try on a random shelf.

Now the sealing

Hmm this is way too tiny... Need to bring the bigger boy.

Better ! I'm maybe using too much wax but I will keep the extras for next time.
Wait a minute, the little flame won't do the work.. what if...

Yeah ! That will do ! (Yes kitchen is a mess i did it before cleaning just in case I will make bigger mess)

Careful sealing... Perfect! Exactly how I wanted, little bit on the rope but not too much as planned, clear sealing, looking like wax and not plastic, love it !

Love it ! Next step will be the making of a fake alchemy label, print it and I got the stuff to add layer of plastic and glue, but I didn't work on my fake label yet, it will be the base of all my potions so i want it to be perfect.
What i think it will be : paper label on the bottle neck with brand name, logo and potion name + a little label tie to a rope at the top of the potion where it will be listed all the fake ingredients and disclaimer.
What do you think ? Want to share some ideas for the label ?

Next potion will be a mana potion.

Note : picture doesn't give the right colors of the feathers

Blooper, fist try sealing and with the tiny ladle.

Be sure that the liquid is sterile and/or won’t support bacterial growth or you’ll have exploding bottles all over the place in a while.

Hmm i didn't think about that... I hope it'll do fine. Bottle glass are quit heavy

If you’re just using food coloring, it’ll probably be ok. Also, use distilled water and/or add a drop or 2 of bleach if you can.
