Corked Vials by Tim Holtz Idea-ology, 9 Glass Bottles, Various Sizes, Clear, TH92899

These are tiny bottles that are the rage with artists who make charms or just tiny trinkets with them. The are usually over $7 at Michaels, so they are a great deal here on Amazon. The glass and corks are good quality. My only complaint is that there are too many of the thin vials, as compared to the more desirable larger bottles. Please note, these are TINY bottles and are not meant to be for the storage of foods or toiletries.If you are interested in using these for art projects, here is a list of must have materials:Elmer's glue all or school glueElmer's clear glueE6000 adhesivePin hooks (for making charms)Acetone (to remove excess E6000)Additional materials depending on what you are making:A good clay, like SculpeyGlitterFood coloringWax for creating an old fashioned-like sealThere are tutorials on YouTube by key artists Toni Ellison and other talented people to help get you started and give you ideas on what to do with these. There are also alchemy and other types of tiny labels you can search for online to use to make your bottles look really cool.

Lovely little vials, just the right size for mixing oils, or putting something pretty in. The cork stoppers are not solid cork, but pressed cork (that is very tiny pieces of cork pressed together) If exposed to moisture for extended periods they will swell or crumble. This could be good or bad. I suggest using a bit of plastic between the cork and bottle if using for liquids. I did however find that they work nicely for scenting a room as a small shake of the bottle soaks the cork, causing the oil to wick through, and lightly perfume the room. Like I said, if you don't want the cork to wick (pressed cork does wick where solid does not) you might seal it with plastic or a very light wax coating.I find them great for sharing scents. I sometimes buy perfume oil in rather large bottles or mix scents of my own, these are great for sharing small amounts with friends. I think they would look equally lovely with colored water displayed on a shelf.

I am constantly working on a series of large, Victorian-themed dollhouses, so am always searching for odd little gems to use in the unusual rooms that I create. I am currently decorating a miniature Victorian laboratory setting, and have been very unhappy to discover that.one tiny little bottle at a miniature store can cost eleven dollars! Ack! I stumbled upon these while browsing on Amazon and ordered two sets on a whim. Was I ever delighted! For less than the price of two tiny bottles at the miniature shop, I now have 18 little lab bottles! They are the PERFECT size for a dollhouse set (1":12" scale), and a great buy. I guess they sell out of craft stores quite quickly, as I have yet to see these in my ongoing search for dollhouse items. Great quality and nicely appointed with tiny little corks. I even found tiny little labels on Amazon, as well!

They're small, They're glass, The corks are cheap. So reviewing just on facts - I like them.Not what I was expecting because I wasn't paying attention.They will be the perfect size for someone.These vials were on my (11y.o.) son's Christmas wish list so I just ordered them. I didn't read reviews or product description. I'm not sure if this is what he is expecting but when I opened the package I laughed.There is really not much else I can add that other reviewers haven't covered. They will hold very little water or the smallest of the smallest, tiniest beads.The photo with fork shows the largest vial and the smallest vial.

Exactly what I wanted for my Harry Potter classroom. I have spaces set up with props and labels for each “subject.” Trying to follow pictures I found I was able to create some fun potions ingredients with these vials. They are small but that’s what I wanted.

I started making bottle charms (jewelry) and my friend recommended these. In my opinion these are not the worst but they're not the best. Quite tiny (didn't realize the dimensions until the packaged arrived-kind of shocking) and the bigger bottles were easy to make into necklaces, bracelets, and keychains. The tiniest bottles were difficult to work with and the corks broke easily when I pushed the headpins through. When I used water in the vials, the corks fell to pieces after a few weeks.The package is arrived on time and everything was in there as it advertises. Quality of the glass is great. They are worth buying for crafts and whatnot, but you do have to be careful and patient when working with these mini (AND I MEAN MINI) vials. They are great for jewelry making.

These were a gift for my 12 year old grandchildren. They were using them to make little potions etc. I never did see them but my daughter said they loved them. Had I been little I would have lived little bottles like that too.

Bought these for a potions gift set idea for the friends that are going with me to Universal Orlando Studios to see The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. They are smaller than what I would have liked them to be but their appearance and durability make up for it a bit. I plan to fill them with different fruit flavored DeKuyper, PopRocks, Pixy Stick powder, Gatorade and water. It'll make for an interesting concoction when they mix it in the cauldron mugs I got in place of a basket or traditional bag. These are very small so you have been warned. They are durable and just the variance in shapes I was looking for but they are small. Think travel sized mouthwash but narrower and some are just big enough to fit a cigarette inside. I'm not entirely sure the PopRocks will fit inside the hole on the smaller bottles but I've packed a funnel to pour them in. I bought mini corks as it was mentioned the ones that come with these don't work. I haven't tried it as these need to make it in my checked luggage first and I'll fix them up once we get settled in the hotel but I have high hopes that these will be a hit with the girls.
