  Step 1

  Gather the supplies:
  +Easy Cast Resin (or your fave brand)
  +Tiny Glass bottles with corks (found a variety in the jewelry section at Hobby Lobby)
  +E-6000 (to glue the corks in)
  +Clamps (found these at the Dollar Tree)
  +Acrylic Paint (If you want opaque potions)
  +Glitter (Any color or shape: I found these tiny bottles of mylar and hexagon glitter in 8 packs in the nail section of the Dollar Tree)
  +Plastic Spoon and Paper Cup (for measuring and mixing)
  +Headpins (for stirring in the glitter)

• 

  Step 2

  Measure a level spoon of resin (this brand uses white ink on the bottle) and pour into the paper cup.

• 

  Step 3

  Measure a level spoon of hardener (this brand uses black ink on the bottle) and pour into the paper cup.

  Mix slowly to prevent air bubbles but thouroughly for about a minute.

• 

  Step 4

  Pick out the bottles you plan to use.

• 

  Step 5

  Using a clamp will help hold the bottle upright while pouring and while the resin sets. You can also use whatever you have on hand to support the bottles.

• 

  Step 6

  If you want some potions with a clear base you can go ahead and pour resin into those bottles.

  It helps if you pinch the paper cup it will make a litte pour spout.

  Try to leave some space at the top for the cork.

• 

  Step 7

  For opaque base potions add a drop or two of acrylic paint to the resin and mix thoroughly.

• 

  Step 8

  Now pour your opaque potion into the bottle.

• 

  Step 9

  Pour the glitter of your choice into the bottles. The pink one shown here is made with mylar glitter.

• 

  Step 10

  Use the head pin to push the glitter down into the resin and stir it around. You can add glitter to the opaque base too but it may not be seen as well as in the clear base.

  *The glitter has a tendancy to sink so keep checking off and on and stirring or adding more glitter if needed*

• 

  Step 11

  There may be air bubbles in the tops of the heart humps or the arms of the star.
  A headpin bent like a hook can help reach those hard to reach spots to pop the bubbles.

• 

  Step 12

  Use a napkin to clean up the bottle neck if needed.

  Let the resin set for 24 hours.

• 

  Step 13

  Once the resin has set check the length of the corks. As you can see here I filled the pink too full and now the cork doesn't fit in.

• 

  Step 14

  If this happens to you too simply use an exacto knife to trim some of the cork off.

• 

  Step 15

  Using the E-6000 apply a thin layer around the bottom of the cork.

• 

  Step 16

  Press the corks into place and let the glue dry for 12-24 hours.

• 

  Step 17

  Once the glue has dried we can add the pendants to a necklace chain.
  Start with using the pliers to open a split ring.

• 

  Step 18

  Slide the pendant onto the split ring.
  For the star I slide the split ring into one of the link of the chain to keep it stationary.
  For the heart I put the split ring over the whole chain so it could slide freely.
  Close the split ring.

  Step 19

  Enjoy your potions!
