Harry Potter, Weasleys Wizard Wheezes inspired Love Potion tutorial!
 


 In this tutorial you will learn how to make a super easy and fun, Harry Potter inspired, Love Potion!
I am inspired by the Weasley twins, Fred and George, who are so energetic, funny and determined.
In the fifth book, the twins drop out of school to go and fulfill their dream: owning a popular Joke Shop.
One of their products was a Love Potion called Cupid's Crystals; and that is what we will be creating today!

Things you will need:
A bottle (round looks more like the real ones from the shop but, use your imagination!)
Water
Red or pink food coloring
Paper
Scissors
A pink pen or marker
Clear tape
Let's get started!
Start by filling your bottle almost to the top with water. Mix in a small amount of food coloring until pink. Dry the out side of the bottle. (Sorry! The water is pink, but the camera didn't capture the color.)
 
Now you're going to  cut out a circle of paper and write "Cupid's Crystals love potion" with a pink pen or marker.

Now tape the paper to the front of the bottle. (You can easily waterproof the paper by covering the whole piece in overlapping tape).
And voila! 

Your Cupids Crystals love potion is finished! One thing is that the "potion" is edible and can be a GREAT Valentines day gift for a Harry potter fan! (The colored water can be replaced by a pink juice, too!)
Thanks for  reading this tutorial! And stay tuned for more Harry Potter inspired crafts, such as the colorful box I used as a background for these photos!
Bye!
