sportsmom12 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Instead of always using jars, I bought some bottles with pumps in them to put lotion in. I mixed it up with fo first- but what is the secret to getting the lotion into those small tops? I did it with a knife and it took forever. Even using a funnel wasn't that great.

singleyellowrose Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I use a zip lock baggie. Pour it in, zip it shut and snip the corner. However, I still use a funnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMary Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I take a funnel that's a close fit. Fill it up, squeeze the bottle air out and let go - it sucks the lotion right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Like the other poster I use a ziplock bag, but what a good idea with the funnel and sucking the air out of the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixieWick Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 ziplock bags were not my friend when i did it :laugh2: i bought paper cups an pinched it at the top an poured it in .. i poured it when it was warm also so it would flow better an it worked perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlelady Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 What I've always used was:Take the one gallon of lotion base (that's what I use) and get a screw on top with a spigot kinda like a ketchup bottle type, cut it down where the opening is bigger, squeeze 1/2 the gal of lotion into another gallon bottle. Now I have two 1/2 gals of lotion base, add FO, add colorant, shake, shake, shake with regular lotion lid, now put on spigot top and squeeze into your bottles. Only take 15 secs or less to fill an 8 oz. bullet.If you want I can post a pic of the top my DH found for me.HTHCarrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 If you are making lotion from scratch, pour it warm, it will set up just fine in the bottle.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 if you're making your lotion from scratch one of these will do the jobhttp://www.centralrestaurant.com/Economy-PumpPump-Only-c102p2407.html?&User_ID=13455184&st=4416&st2=57438689&st3=-72708263 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 i guess i should add, that it will work even if you're not making it from scratch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooChelle Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I take a funnel that's a close fit. Fill it up, squeeze the bottle air out and let go - it sucks the lotion right in. OMG That is genious!!! Thank you!ETA that I use this method: (not from scratcher..I am a baser lol)put my 1-2 dr color in the bottle, along w/the required FO, pour CAREFULLY out of measuring cup (glass) warm (thin) lotion & / or shower gel... Apply my cap when have about 1/4 to 1/2 filled bottle and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE! then add remaining lotion / gel...I've tried the little cookie shooter things, the ziplock trick..and the ketchup "spouter" thingy.. none of those worked for me.. However.. I've melted a few bottles (out of maybe 40-50) doing this method and having too warm liquid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
