Self Stirring Potion Spinner : Swirling Potions : Easy Prop Potions : Witches Brew : Halloween

[@luvnotvideos]

Another trick with the hole saw is to brace the bottom with a block of wood. This allows you to keep your hands and fingers away from the saw blade, but still provide positive pressure while drilling. It also prevents tear-through on the back side.

❤The spinner would look great with a misty crystal ball with that alcohol and glitter. so cool. I love where you're going with this decor. 😊😊

[@Jcush21]

Is the spinner strong enough to work through the book without cutting out the hole? Or maybe a thin sheet of modeling plastic over the cover of the book before you put the crepe paper on it? Just trying to think of ways to avoid the dip in the cover. 🙂 Cool item though. Definitely going on my wish list.

[@CookingandCraftChick]

A piece of paper is about as thick you can go. Because your bottle has the glass it goes through too. You could definitely test it out though.

[@alicjapsycholog8420]

Delightful and inspiring! Making this kind magical potion has become my New Year's resolution! Thank you :)

[@phyllismcdaniel-cook946]

What a beautiful creation

[@meloneeleddington7664]

This is another one of my absolute favorite potion bottles you have made. I love the whole look of it especially the label you made and the added finial on top. The spinner is so cool. I haven't made this one yet but I definitely plan on it. You have such great ideas and are so talented not only with the potions you make but the labels are all so beautiful. I enjoy rewatching your videos quite often just to get reinspired by all of your great ideas. Happy Falloween 🧡 🤎 💛 🍁 🍂 🎃 👻

[@sheilaranger2962]

Great video! I love all the ideas you have for the bottles. I worked in a lab at a gold mine for 30 years and we used these everyday. When I made my display I used a plug in with a timer so it turns on/off on its own. The plug in is stronger so no need to drill the top hole in the book. It is a bit more expensive, well worth it tho. I also use a glass skull instead of a tall bottle. Thank you for taking so much time out of your day to give us your take on creating all these amazing items! I am working on having a light go up into the glass potion bottle. I will have the skull mixing on one side and the lighted potion bottle on the other side.

[@sheilaranger2962]

Be sure to store any hot glued items in a temperature controlled environment. I forgot to mention, not all glue is created equal. Here in the hot country hot glue does not work so well. The temperature goes up to 120 degrees in the summer so anything stored in a shed will fall apart. I use both E6000 and hot glue. Hot glue holds quickly and E6000 withstands the temperature changes.

[@RobertA-hq3vz]

I'm thinking print the label on plastic transparency not paper, so that you have a clearer vision on the bottle. Also, if you can turn on the spinner for 1 second every minute it will create a better effect as well as save your battery by a factor of 60, but that would require a special circuit as that spinner doesn't appear to have that function.

[@skeletorama1916]

Ok, how slick is this?!?!? Absolutely love it, what a great idea. :)

How cool and clever is this xxxx ❤❤❤❤ liz 🇬🇧 uk

[@meloneeleddington7664]

That is so awesome, I saw something similar before but you had to make the motor and stuff and this is so much easier. I love that you can just buy the spinner. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I will definitely be getting one. Beautiful potion and great job. Love it. 🧡🤎💛🍁🍂

[@nancyaquino1424]

I just wanted to say how much I admire what you do. Such a creative mind….you’ve inspired me to make my own potions. I never even knew about magnetic stirrers. I got one of my own and set it all up. Thank you so much!! Truly a fan.

[@julieh2935]

Oh, my goodness! How fun! This would also be so beautiful with one of your winter ice/snow potions! ❄️ 💗 (Thank you to your hubby for the safety tips!)

Once again you come in clutch. I was doing so much research on ways to do exactly this. I have never heard of one of these before, so thank you for introducing me!

[@CookingandCraftChick]

I’ve thought about that too. 😉

[@Histryboy]

I love your page...would you consider showing us your vision of DnD potions without dice in them? I would love to see how you used the description of those potions to create a real version of them :)

[@CookingandCraftChick]

I might have to do that!

[@thepecansdg]

this is genius love it

[@rhondalong152]

I used Gorilla Wood Glue on a end table leg, letting it dry for a week, using Painter's tape to hold it in place as it dries. I turned the table over,setting it carefully down and put a mini Christmas tree (no ornaments)on top,and it fell apart.

[@beckymurphy4714]

Gorilla glue (not their hot glue, just regular glue) needs moisture to work. You have to dampen both surfaces before applying the glue.

[@rhondalong152]

@@beckymurphy4714 TOTALLY didn't know that. Didn't say it on the package. It should

[@ochun57]

Wow you really always impressive me. Thank you for this video. Love it.

[@THENEONARCADE21]

I like this one too !!!

[@jamesmalone186]

Your videos are just as awesome as the potions themselves. So creative! Just a thought and not sure if it will work but would heating the air in the bottle before inserting the cork keep it in place better? Kind of like jarring jelly? Once the air cools it would create a vacuum…maybe. My hats off to your creativity. Please keep up the amazing work!

[@CookingandCraftChick]

Awwww thank you! 💜🧪 It might I’ll definitely do some testing 😉

[@IhsanHussein-c1t]

Your job is great 👍❤

[@GaryShelton-dg7xs]

I am a professional storyteller and Santa, I love this idea as a launching point for a Santa story. My idea is that this is a potion that the elves shared with me a very special reason. Could anyone suggest a color combination that has a Christmas vibe? Also i there any way to make this light up? Thank you for this wonder video and any help you or others can offer.

[@CookingandCraftChick]

@@GaryShelton-dg7xs you could definitely add light around the inside edge of the circle on the book, most likely with fairy lights. I do several potions where I use a lighted coaster, but I’m not sure if the spinning mechanism would work with it. As for the potion, I think it’d be really cool to do a lighter green color or a bright green color to a deep red or a red to gold. I have several Christmas themed potions, you should go check them out. I have a naughty to nice potion, I have potions based off of the Christmas Chronicles, etc.. 😊

[@prototypegmwt]

How much noise does this make? Can you put it on a desk without it distracting noise wise?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

It doesn’t make very much noise. Some of it depends on the bottle size etc.

[@samuelfiore7949]

Amazing. what kind of glue did you use to glue crap paper?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

Mod podge

[@ninadavis3989]

Would this have still worked if you didn’t cut the hole in the box? Also, do you know if this would work through plastic? I was thinking of a crystal ball or a Snow globe.

[@CookingandCraftChick]

It’ll work through plastic. The book was too thick to go through with the glass bottle

[@Michelle-vp1fr]

I love this bottle. I have two comets so to speak. One is why change the color if your going to keep it swirling?? Two is can you put two different power colors in a bottle to spin or will they just mix into one color? Anyway it's a cool bottle. Thanks for your time in showing how to do it. Lovely.

[@CookingandCraftChick]

They will mix into one color. It’ll change once you turn it off and let it settle. Then change again when you turn it on.

[@Michelle-vp1fr]

Yeah I kinda figured that they would mix into one color. But thanks for answering that. But if you want it to run for a party and so you don't turn off, that's why I said why change the color. But anyway it's a cool way to show them off during a party.

[@BlueHatter]

Is it better to use rubbing alcohol or just plain water? Should glycerin be added?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

@@BlueHatter plain water will get gross over time. You should use distilled water if you are going the water route, also you’ll either need to add a little alcohol or glycerin to it. I personally prefer alcohol you get nicer swirls and it stays clean.

[@BlueHatter]

@@CookingandCraftChickAlrighty, thanks. I keep seeing conflicting information- some say to use bottled water, others say to use alcohol- so I don’t know what to think. :P

[@mamakryz]

Is it possible to fit two slimmer glass bottles on top instead of 1 bottle?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

I’m not sure I’d have to test it. The center is what spins so I’m not sure it would spin both.

[@mamakryz]

​@@CookingandCraftChick thanks for sharing this ingenious idea! I'd like to try making too but I'm not sure where to buy the book box. Do you have a link? Do let me know if it worked for more than 1 XD Thanks again!

[@CookingandCraftChick]

@@mamakryz I tagged a set on wayfair in the product section of the video. But hobby lobby and Kirkland’s sell them regularly too.

[@ochun57]

I bought this machine but it did not work as expected. I wonder if the bottle might have been to thick and thats why it did not work well ?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

@@ochun57 that is possible. Also make sure your magnet spinner “magnets” to the center before you turn it on.

[@melissahulon1907]

So how do you get your power bank to stay on? Made this exact thing hooked up to my power bank but it shuts off unless i keep turning turning it back on

[@CookingandCraftChick]

My power bank will run until it has no power left only when it’s running. It doesn’t shut off per se it’s just in sleep mode until I use it. if you’re wanting to run it for hours on end hook it up to a cord to a plug in.

[@melissahulon1907]

Can you tell me the name of your battery….maybe I can order it.

[@CookingandCraftChick]

@@melissahulon1907 mine is just a cheapy one, I think I got it from hot topic www.hottopic.com/product/harry-potter-chibi-character-collage-rechargeable-power-bank/11445174.html

[@melissahulon1907]

And thus one will continue to stir the potion until the battery dies? All of my battery banks auto turn off after 10 seconds

[@CookingandCraftChick]

@@melissahulon1907 yeah mine runs until it’s empty

[@JardanySvidrigailov]

[@misszangz499]

So awesome!! Would you have any tips in transportation/postage for gifts etc? Can you seal the cork with glue as well to help stabilise and will it last for that? Would just be so scared to send potions to someone and it come apart in different temperatures 🥺

[@bevamy4]

Love your work, but you should give credit where credit is deserved…..Wicked Makers

[@CookingandCraftChick]

Yes wicked makers made a spinner like 2 or 3 years ago that was a handmade motor in a carved out book. I used a magnetic stirrer which has been around for decades, I used a book box because it makes sense with potions to have books. They are not the same. Besides they didn’t give credit to the “videos of potions with alcohol and mica or water and glycerin” credit either. No idea will ever truly be new it’s just your take on it. The execution of mine is not the same; not to mention mine is more easily created for non-engineers.

[@tracychildress772]

How many drops of glycerin do you use? I made 2 small potion bottles, tried to do the color changing, used the 70% isopropyl alcohol food coloring and mica powder, but they don't look the same. I think I need to add a few more drops of glycerin but how much is too much? I want that beautiful silk like look to the liquid.

[@CookingandCraftChick]

@@tracychildress772 I didn’t use any glycerin I just used the rubbing alcohol in this, but I would start with a couple drops. You can always add more but you can’t take it out.

[@tiptonniese107]
