foxhill Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I found the greatest gadget for filling my lotion bottles! After thinking about the questions on here on how to fill bottles with thick bases or with lotions after they have cooled I thought about trying a cookie press. I got one at Michael's for $9.99 and picked the cookie dye that had a hole in the center and used masking tape over the other holes. You just fill out the tube and put the top on, line up the hole over the bottle opening and squeeze the handle. It was so easy, not messy and fast. I've been using ziploc baggies and pastry bags and they are a mess and I always have problems. I am very pleased with the way this one came out! This is the cookie press I got...http://www.wilton.com/yearbook/productinfo/comfortgripcookiepress.cfmI used the dye second from the left on the top row that looks like a flower.

Monica Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 We use a huge syringe that my sis gets at the pharmacy. Glad you found something that works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryinCary Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Thanks for the tip Jen~I just ordered lotion bottles and a GM lotion base and was wondering how that was going to work! Good excuse to head over to Michael's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieannie Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I use a turkey baster! Sucks it up and squirts it out..very little mess! The cookie press is a great idea too~ Congrats on finding something to help make your job a little easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Yep, that looks like it would work perfectly Jennifer. Now that you mention it, I have all the supplies I THOUGHT I needed to make lotion, but didn't even think about getting something to help me put it in the bottles-DUH! LOLAlas, no Michaels near me though, I wonder if Walmart has anything similar to that??I swear I should have bought stock in Walmart years ago, I'm there at least once a week if not more.

Sherie Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I swear I should have bought stock in Walmart years ago, I'm there at least once a week if not more. I can so relate to this too!

Candle Man Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Looks like this one would work better because it has a tip but it does cost much more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxhill Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 If you can buy those tips individually they will fit on the $9.99 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 That's ingenuity!!I usually use a big syringe i get from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMercier Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'll have to try something different. I don't use anything. I keep forgetting to get at least a funnel. I always get lotion or shower gel all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindylou Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Great idea! I have one of those cookie presses. I never used it for cookies so I might as well find it and use it for something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
