Soot Sprite Embroidery (by loveandasandwich)
Tutorial: Torn Fabric Chandelier on Joyfolie.

30 minute Harry Potter hat tutorial!
Custom Harry Potter shirts could easily be created with fabric pens, acrylic paint, or iron on transfer paper. Different kinds of stitching & embroidering would be neat, too! All you need is a blank shirt, a few supplies, and a little inspiration. Here are a few clever ideas…
- Dark Mark shirt
- Embroidered lightning bolt.
- “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good”
- “I have stuck with Harry until the very end”
- “Muggle born”
- “Nah, it’s not polyjuice potion…I always look this good”
