A potion bottle necklace inspired by Harry Potter =)
This was made as a present for one of my younger sisters for her birthday. She wanted a Harry Potter potion necklace, which could be anything as long it was blue. I chose the Elixir of Life, as it sounds pretty cool and I don't think it had a specified colour in the books (at least, not that I can remember).
I had most the materials already, but bought the necklace chain (silver-plated) from Ebay. Everything else can either be bought from sites like Ebay and Etsy, and/or craft shops; minus the PC and printer obviously! The bottles can be hard to find, but this particular one I got in a wholesale lot from China on Ebay.
This project can be adapted to suit you - you could change the colour of the potion, use a different label or different charms etc. I would recommend that it be kept upright when not being worn, just in case, although I tested the seal (and dropped it - oops!) and it hasn't leaked.

Step 8
For the label, find a font you like (you can download loads for free online). Mine was called 'Scriptina'. Print the name of the potion, and make sure it is the right size.
I made it look old by using instant coffee. I mixed it into a paste and just dabbed it on with my finger unevenly. Then, when it was dry, I used a candle to burn the edges - be careful not to go too far like I nearly did! Do it in steps and blow out the flames very quickly.
