Quick Potion Bottles

Recommended Posts

I had to produce a set of potion bottles quickly so decided to use some plastic bottles as the base and to cover them in leather.

I made a card board pattern for the base and wrapped paper round the top of the bottle cutting it down to the correct size.

I used the shapes I made as the pattern.

Drew round them and cut the leather out

Attached the pieces together with some lace and realized I hadn't cut a piece to cover the bottom!

I made a bottom and connected it with lace.

I liked the end result so I made a batch.

I need to do some thing with the plastic tops eventually but these were made after some glass potion bottles were smashed and I needed them for the weekend so I'm pretty happy with them.
