Jack Frost Potion Bottle

In this tutorial, Tiffany Chan shows how to turn ordinary bottles—especially upcycled liquor or craft bottles—into frosted Jack Frost potion bottles. You’ll see how to prep and clean the glass, choose rubber stoppers, and sculpt textured polymer clay around the bottle with simple household tools and stamps. Tiffany demonstrates using mica powders on unbaked clay for a snowy, iridescent finish, then filling the bottle with 91% alcohol, food coloring, and shimmering powders to create swirling blue and indigo potion effects. The project finishes with hemp twine wrapping, dripped sealing wax, Mod Podge, and optional crystals, charms, or rhinestones for extra sparkle. The steps are approachable, flexible, and easy to customize, making this a cozy, magical craft for any rainy afternoon.
