Love Potion No. 9 Witches Cauldron

Remember our little "fairy dust pots" that we made for our sweet fairy party!?! Well, they were so much fun to make that we thought we should make a Halloween inspired one too! These would be great for a children's costume party! They would look so cute lined up on a sweet table or perfect for a take home gifts! These were inspired by a witches cauldron...a cauldron full of glitter of course!


Materials:
Mini plastic jars (found at Hobby Lobby)
purple Martha Stewart glitter
Black satin ribbon
Purple felt
Decorative gems
"Love Potion No. 9" tag (.50 cents Icing Designs)
Lollipop stick
Strip of brown card stock
Hot glue gun/glue

Take your jar and fill with the glitter (we just filled a little less than half way up). We created a little funnel out of paper just to keep the glitter from going all over.
To create the little broom just take a strip of brown card stock or construction paper and fold it in half. Cut little strips into it to create the bristles. Wrap it around and glue it to the lollipop stick. We also tied a little black bow around the top of the paper, it is optional...but super cute! (Just fluff out the paper strips to make the broom look fuller.)

Next take your "Love Potion No. 9" tag and tie it around the top of the bottle neck with a black ribbon. Trim the ends of the ribbon and stick your little broom through the front.

Wrap your black ribbon around the cap to cover it. To make the witches hat just take your purple felt and cut a circle (big enough to hang over the top of the cap). Cut another triangular shaped piece of felt to make the top of the hat. Simply wrap the triangular piece around hot gluing it to secure it in the witches hat shape. Glue the top onto the bottom and you have your hat! We also tied a little ribbon around the hat and glued a decorative gem in the center!


Simply twist your top onto the glitter bottle and you have yourself a little Love Potion No. 9 witches cauldron!
