I’ve always wanted to make a Drink Me potion ever since I saw Alice in Wonderland. This potion allows the person who consumes it to shrink down in size while in Wonderland.
C&CC did a tutorial on this using styling gel for the liquid. It looks fantastic in the bottle, but for mine, I wanted to use something that would make the liquid look kind of flat and watery. I opted for light corn syrup for this because I thought the texture of it would be perfect for a flat, unassuming liquid in the bottle.
Ingredients that I used:
- Small Glass Bottle
- Light Corn Syrup
- Blue Food Coloring
- Piping Bag (for easier transfer into the bottle)
- White Yarn
- Potion Label
A tiny amount of food coloring goes a long way. I mixed the blue food coloring little by little into the light corn syrup in a paper bowl. Once I was happy with the color, I scooped it into a disposable piping bag and squeezed it into the bottle. It is much easier to do it this way than trying to mix it inside the glass bottle (I’ve learned that the hard way!).
I love the how blue the color is.
And I think the corn syrup holds the light blue color well, rather than have just used water for that flatter look I wanted.
This one was super easy to make. If you make this and have children, it might be a good idea to glue the cork shut so the bottle can’t be opened.
Have you made this potion? If so, what did you use for the liquid?
