We made magical swirling Halloween Witch's Potions!

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie take the viral swirling potion bottle trend a step further by engineering a motorized magnetic mechanism hidden inside a DIY faux-leather spellbook to keep the mesmerizing swirl going indefinitely. Each bottle is filled with glycerin, mica powder, and food coloring to create a color-shifting storm effect, while a concealed small motor and magnets do the continuous stirring work beneath. The build is approachable for intermediate makers and fits seamlessly into witch, wizard, or fantasy Halloween themes. Detailed materials and tool lists make sourcing everything straightforward.
