I make these kind of props all the time, I have a whole apothecary, Hair gel is awesome but to get it into the bottles easily use a pastry bag and small tip or simply use a ziplock bag with a small hole cut at one corner, way easier and no mess.
Shane Kuchler yeah I’ve been using a pastry bag in my newer videos, someone suggested it and I was like duh why didn’t I think of that! Thank you for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
I noticed after I posted that tip, the person right under me said the same thing, I don't know how to delete so I hope I don't look too much like a dork. Oh and by the way if you have problems with the gel drying out over the years use hot glue to seal the cap or cork, you can even carve a cool looking top/stopper out of hot glue sticks. glad I found your cool channel
I stumbled upon your channel and am in awe! Your talents are beyond amazing! You are so kind to do these tutorials and making this both affordable and extremely fun. I have had the start to an Apothecary but these ideas take it to a whole new level. THANK YOU!!!!
@@CookingandCraftChick My pleasure!! So am I! :) You truly do excel in your instructions and cool uniquely creative slant to your potions. I'll have you know....I have been binge-watching and have been to three craft stores AND Goodwill in the last two days lol! Goodwill had some unique awesome old bottles and now I need to get busy. I have got the fever BAD! LOL! See what you did?!!! LOL.....After all …..they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :) Thank you for the inspirations and I will send you my bill(s).. ha hahaha.....But sincerely now , I ...thank YOU!
have you ever thought about using a Ziploc bag or a piping bag when you are adding your gel into the bottles? you could mix the gel and food coloring in the bag, snip a little corner off the end of the bag and just squeeze the gel into the bottle. it might be a little easier on you then having to poke all that gel thru with the skewer.. I absolutely LOVE all your potion ideas!
Nancy Nichols no I had never thought of that 🤔 I don't know why, I feel like I use piping bags for EVERYTHING! Great suggestion!!!! I will be putting your idea to work in the next "gel" video I do. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!! 😄
What a great bottle! One question: did I misunderstand how to get the keyhole sticker? I looked everywhere on your site and could only find the label...? HELP.
since its been a few years since this was made. I was wondering how long did this potion last? was there ever any discoloration or anything that changed to where the potion would need to be remade? Not sure if gel has a expiration date of sorts.
I'd give this to someone as both a pretty conversation starter gift and a backhanded insult like "here, i got this neat thing for you, figured you'd need it :)"
A Geeky box of Pocky you can, however it is a thinner consistency and all of the beads will be in the bottom. The styling gel is the only thing I’ve found that has the suspension quality it has. I hope that helps; thanks for watching!!
I did use the funnel initially and said forget it and just poured it in; however I found that if you load your gel into a piping bag or Ziploc bag and snip the corner that it’s much easier to squeeze the gel into the bottle. Thanks for watching!

Robin Biddle 😂 you are welcome! Have fun creating!! 🧪
Flower gel beads will work to. You can still color them as well.
Dollar store has them..they expand..
I have been watching your DIY potion bottles vedeos and I just love, love, love them!!! Continue your great work!
podsafe Thank you and thanks for watching! 😄

Genius.
A pastry bag would be an easy way to get that gel in the bottle. Very cool ideas you have 🙌❤️
Yeah, I now use piping bags on these kinds of potions.
A particularly pink, perfectly pearly potion to pin to your pretty purse ! 👛 😊😊😊
This is a great potion I shall make it myself
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩
Ever thaught about doing larp? I think you would do amazing as an alchemist.
Waterdragon WD I hadn't thought about doing that, but I might have to look into it! Thanks for watching! 😄
What a great bottle! One question: did I misunderstand how to get the keyhole sticker? I looked everywhere on your site and could only find the label...? HELP.
I love all of your videos! The music is fantastic, too!
Julie H thank you! I try to have the music match the potion! Thanks for watching! 😊
Where to find the bottle
Make a cake frosting bag next. Time to get the gel in. It might help.
Yes I use piping bags in all of my newer videos. This was an early one. 😊
since its been a few years since this was made. I was wondering how long did this potion last? was there ever any discoloration or anything that changed to where the potion would need to be remade? Not sure if gel has a expiration date of sorts.
I got a very tiny bit of evaporation but that is it. 😊
@@CookingandCraftChick thanks again for taking the time to reply to my comment here and on the other video. Your information is really useful.
@@keykereon no problem 😊💜
I love all of ur content
U are most defenately my fav yter
Hi, I’m a new subscriber. Have you considered using a piping bag to add the gel in?
Yes you’ll see in several videos after this one that I use piping bags. 😊
I’m planning on being a steampunk for Halloween so this helps a lot 🎃👻
Awesome
I'd give this to someone as both a pretty conversation starter gift and a backhanded insult like "here, i got this neat thing for you, figured you'd need it :)"
😂😂😂
Ziplock bag idea in comments is genius!
Purpleshoes Purp I know right!!
Lightly tap bottle on table instead of skewer
.
Looks cool but a frosting bag would have been better to use I feel..
Super cute, love this!
Faded Watercolors thank you and thanks for watching!
How about using the colored gel? I have seen pink gel in stores
Moses Quiñones you definitely could it’s just usually not as saturated as coloring it your self. I hope that helps thanks for watching!
Cooking and Craft Chick I see thanks for the reply and thanks for the video I am new to your channel and you found yourself a subscriber
I love your potionvideoes!😍
Ann Charlotte Lunde thank you and thanks for watching! 😊
I cant find the sticker for the top part in your labels... only the elixir one.
roland valenzuela I updated the label, I’m not sure why it wasn’t there 🤔
Wonder if you can use germex.....
A Geeky box of Pocky you can, however it is a thinner consistency and all of the beads will be in the bottom. The styling gel is the only thing I’ve found that has the suspension quality it has. I hope that helps; thanks for watching!!
wait, what was the point of the funnel in the beginning if you put the slime directly into the bottle anyway? did i miss something?
I did use the funnel initially and said forget it and just poured it in; however I found that if you load your gel into a piping bag or Ziploc bag and snip the corner that it’s much easier to squeeze the gel into the bottle. Thanks for watching!
This reminds me of P!ATD's Vices and Virtues sooooooo much!
Moggy G thank you and thanks for watching!
I need it!
Does normal food coloring work?
Dumbledore's Army 4 Life! Yes it does, gel is just easier to handle sometimes.
I've been wondering, can i use watercolor paint instead of food coloring?
scientia99 yes it just may not be quite as crystal clear as food coloring. 👍 Thanks for watching!
I tried it and yes, it's not clear at all.. OTL
I'll try with transparent watercolor paint maybe next time :)
Love it
xinh qua di
