Trying to stir in the priming solution into your fermenter is just going to stir up the yeast and likely introduce oxygen.
Honestly, you need to buy something. Either buy a bucket to rack the beer into (which will mix in the solution solution), or buy carbonation drops.
Well if you live in Canada like I do, get the President's Choice Fresh Pressed Apple Cider from Loblaw's/Superstore. It's $5 for 3L and works awesome as a base for all my ciders. I almost always use Lalvin BM 4X4 yeast, which ferments nice and dry at basement temps, good body, retains a lot of fruit characteristics. Most of the time I use plain ol' white sugar to bring up the SG. The PC cider on it's own will get you to around 4-5% ABV, but I like to bring my ciders in around the 8-10% range. If you want to split the difference and go for, say, a nice 7% ABV you're looking for between 1.050 and 1.055 SG. Ferment it out for a few weeks until you see little to no more activity in the airlock. Rack to secondary and add any additional flavours you want. From there it's just a waiting game depending on how long you want to age before bottling, the clarity you're looking for, etc. For bottling I use either 750ml flip tops or 650ml beer bombers. I use two of these tabs in each bottle for conditioning. If I'm worried that there's not enough residual yeast left at bottling time, I put a few grains of dry BM 4X4 per bottle before filling. I go at least 2 months before cracking open the first one.

Can pick up some of these , drop one in and recap. They are normally a waste of money, but I think they are the best solution to save beer that has already been bottled.
I use these for my cider and haven't run into problems in the two years I've done it.
