Soot Sprite Embroidery (by loveandasandwich)
HP Deathly Hallows release t shirt: here is the shirt I made for the midnight showing last Thursday. You can find the downloadable layout for your own iron-on transfers on the click-through (or here). I borrowed inspiration for the Sirius Black quote from thereadables, and used the Lumos font from Mugglenet.com. It was simple, but perfect on short notice.
OK, I’ll lay off the HP-related crafts soon and focus on more general/random stuff.
So there are waaaaaay too many creative Harry Potter inspired projects out there. I’ve only skimmed the top! If you want MORE, start by checking out these great resources:
- HarryPotterCrafts Yahoo Group: You have to sign up, but it’s free and then you can share in the magic.
- About.com DIY fashion section: Lots of DIY Harry Potter-themed costume ideas.
- The Leaky Cauldron Craft section: I pulled quite a few from here, but there is plenty more!
- Artists Helping Children Harry Potter Roundup: There is so much here, I just can’t even…
- DIY Life Pottercraft: more Potter crafts!
- Craftzine Harry Potter Craft Roundup: and a few more to round it all off.
Hope you enjoyed this week’s posts, and OMG THE MOVIE COMES OUT IN A FEW DAYS…

Two DIY light up Harry Potter wand tutorials: this first one uses a UV LED & UV marker to unveil secret messages, and this second one is bright enough to use as a flashlight! Can anyone say LUMOS?
