  Step 1

  First, get your materials and tools together. I used a 2ml bottle (about 35mm high), and a silver-plated chain. The chain had slightly smaller links than I expected, so I had to use smaller jump rings.

• 

  Step 2

  Fill the bottle with coloured water - I used blue food colouring.

• 

  Step 3

  Use the hot glue gun on the cork around the bottom edge and on the bottom. Try to cover it completely around the circumference. Place into the bottle and hold for a few seconds to let it set. Leave for a while before removing any excess.

• 

  Step 4

  Screw in the screw eye into the cork.

• 

  Step 5

  Get the necklace chain, and add a jump ring with the pliers onto a link in the middle of the chain. Leave open.

• 

  Step 6

  Attach the bottle to the jump ring on the chain, and close firmly with the pliers.

• 

  Step 7

  Open another jump ring, and add the charms onto it. Attach the jump ring onto the hook on the bottle and close it firmly.

• 

  Step 8

  For the label, find a font you like (you can download loads for free online). Mine was called 'Scriptina'. Print the name of the potion, and make sure it is the right size.
  I made it look old by using instant coffee. I mixed it into a paste and just dabbed it on with my finger unevenly. Then, when it was dry, I used a candle to burn the edges - be careful not to go too far like I nearly did! Do it in steps and blow out the flames very quickly.

• 

  Step 9

  Add the label onto the bottle using spray adhesive. Hold it there for a while to let it set.

• 

  Step 10

  And there you go, all finished =)
