Halloween is my favorite time of year. There are so many ways to get creative and make something spooky and fun. I decided to try making my own ‘lava lamps,’ but instead label them as magic potion for Halloween!
If you’ve never tried making a lava lamp before, it’s very easy and requires only a few ingredients. This would be a great project to make or give to your kids and teach them about how water and oil do not mix!

- The first step is to use a funnel to fill your bottle ¾ way full with vegetable oil. Then fill it the rest of the way up with water, leaving about an inch of room at the top.

- Then add in drops of food coloring (I chose purple and green). And that’s it!
- To make your magic potion bubble, simply break an Alka-Seltzer tablet into quarters and drop it into the bottle.
- Your potion will brew and bubble just like magic!
Notes
To make my potion bottles extra special, I added a custom oval tag to each bottle and repackaged the Alka-Seltzer in small glassine envelopes and a fancy shape label in the style Iconic Halloween.
Used In This Project:
- Oval Hang Tags • I chose the “Iconic Halloween” style in purple.
- Fancy Square Labels • I chose the “Iconic Halloween” style in purple.
- Small Rectangular Glassine Envelopes
