Magic of Christmas Potion Ornament


     Every holiday needs a little magic.  This ornament is a great gift for magic lovers of all ages.  Customize with your preferred glitter color(s) and your favorite holiday spangles/confetti.  You could also make "Magic of Christmas" potion pendants using this tutorial.

Materials:
*Corked vial
*Glitter/spangles/confetti of your choosing
*All purpose adhesive
*Twine
*Printer paper
*Coffee
*Baking pan
*Black gel pen
*Scissors

Directions:
*Uncork the vial and pour in a layer of glitter in a color of your choosing.
*Add a layer of spangles.
*Either cork the vial or cover the opening with your finger and shake until the glitter and spangles have mixed together.
*Add a layer of glitter followed by a layer of spangles and then shake until mixed.
*Repeat the process until your vial is sufficiently full.
*Cork the vial.  You may want to use a dab of all purpose adhesive to secure the cork in place so it won't fall out.
*Wrap some twine around the neck of the neck of the vial and knot.
*Pull the twine 1/4 of the way back around the neck of the bottle on either side and glue down.  Once your are finished, the vial should hang straight down rather than at an angle as it would if hanging from the knot.
*Tie the ends of the twine together to create a loop.
*To make the label, follow the directions given in this post.
*Glue the label on.  Once everything is dry, your ornament is tree-ready!
