2. Outdoor or Indoor Lighting Shade Using the top of the lotion bottle as a shade, you will bring a new look to your old holiday lights. These can be used to light up any outdoor party.
Pour the lotion into a microwave-safe measuring cup. Put the measuring cup in the microwave and set the timer for 30 seconds. Use a metal spoon to mix your lotion. If you want to avoid spilling, place a funnel on top of the empty bottle. Pour the lotion from the measuring cup into the bottle. After filling the bottle to the neck, replace the cap or dispenser.
Fill a plastic Ziploc bag or pastry bag with your lotion. Use scissors to cut off the very tip of the bag. Insert the tip of the bag into the neck of the bottle to fill them. If you want to hold more, dab your lotion bottle on the table. Close the lid when you reach the bottleneck
