Harry Potter Potion Ingredients

You can make these ornaments, but they can be made in larger bottles for decorations, or without eye hooks as small party favors. Use your imagination!

How to Make Harry Potter Potions

Making the DIY potions is super easy! Collect your favorite glitter – I tried to find glitter to represent the potion as described in the books or movies. For example, I used a mixture of gold glitter for Felix Felicis (“liquid luck”). The Felix Felicis potion label is my favorite!

And for Floo Powder I used a mixture of black glitter with stars. I love this one!

Here is how to make glitter potion bottles: Fill 1/4 of each bottle with clear liquid glue. Fill the rest with warm water, leaving room at the top to add glitter. Stir until the water and glue are completely combined. Alternatively, you can make the glue and water mixture in a larger container and pour into the bottle with a funnel.

Add glitter and swirl to mix.

Use hot glue to place a thin band around the cork stopper and push into the bottle to seal. Run another band of glue around the top edge of the bottle to add an extra seal. Let the glue harden completely.

To make a potion bottle ornament, screw a small eye hook into the cork stopper.

Use ribbon or an ornament hanger to hang.

The glue will help to suspend the glitter, giving it a “snow globe” type magical effect!

The glitter will fall over time, but you can turn the potion bottle over and mix to re-suspend it!

Harry Potter Potions DIY FAQ:

What to Fill Potion Bottles With?

I used the clear glue because that’s what I had on hand. You can also use vegetable glycerin, which is what I use to make my DIY Snow Globe Tumblers! How cute would a potion bottle tumbler be with the printable Harry Potter Potion Labels?

What Color Glitter Should You Use for each Harry Potter Potion?

Here are some ideas for glitter potion colors. I will include ideas for mica powder, because I think those would be a great addition:

  • Felix Felicis – fine gold glitter and/or gold mica powder
  • Amortentia – pink, hot pink, or red (or a combination!)
  • Draught of Living Death – white glitter or mica powder, or silver and black glitter
  • Polyjuice Potion (Transfiguration Potion) – dark green glitter or a combination of lime green and emerald green glitter
  • Draught of Peace – light blue glitter or holographic glitter
  • Floo Powder – black mica powder with holographic stars, or black glitter with starts
  • Veritaserum – a mixture of gold and green glitter, or gold and blue glitter
  • Elixir of Life – red fine and large glitter, or red and gold glitter
  • Skele-Gro – white and silver glitter
