Potion Necklace DIY

-
Something I've noticed when I've attempted to DIY anything is that whenever I try to follow a tutorial that says "easy" or "five minute crafts" it always calls for a Hammer Driver Drill or quick dry cement. I don't know about you but I don't have those things just lying around the house. So when I choose to blog about any type of craft I choose to be honest...you will have to buy some of the things required to make these necklaces, but the cost shouldn't be more than $20 for a pack of 10 bottles. I know that's actually a lot but when you think about it, it's only $2 per bottle. And if you can't spend that much then you can probably substitute some of the items. But if you are really invested into Harry Potter crafts, as I am, then you will surely enjoy making these potion bottle necklaces!

    Materials:

  • Little glass bottles with a cork (whatever size you want depending on if you're making a necklace or just a potion bottle)
  • Small necklace chains
  • Jump rings
  • Clasps
  • Mini labels (and any extra little decorations you want to add)
  • Pliers (the only tool needed)
  • Hot glue
  • Clear glue
  • Potion materials (you can use whatever you want, the following is just what I used for my potions)
     Note: I either had this at home or bought it at AcMoore

    Amortentia:

  • Pink luster dust (you can find this in any baking aisle) or you can use pink glitter
  • 3 parts Clear glue
  • 1 part Warm water

     Procedure:

  • Mix the luster dust, glue, and water together in the potion bottle with a toothpick
  • Hot glue the bottle shut 
  • Cut a piece of chain that fits around the neck of the bottle and connect it with a jump ring
  • Cut a piece of chain to the size you want and connect it with a clasp
  • Then connect the chain to the jump ring on the bottle chain
  • Lastly add whatever decorations you want

    Felix Felicis:

  • 3 parts Gold glitter glue
  • 1 part warm water

     Procedure:


  • Mix the glitter glue and water in a bottle with a toothpick
  • Repeat the last four steps of the previous potion

    Polyjuice Potion:

  • Clear glue
  • Light and dark green glitter
  • Hot Glue

     Procedure:

  • Glue dots small enough to fit in the bottle on a piece of wax paper or on a different surface that hot glue will pop off of and while the glue is still wet sprinkle the light green glitter on them
  • Wait for the dots to cool then take them off the wax paper and put them in the bottle
  • Fill the bottle with clear glue
  • Mix in the dark green glitter
  • Repeat the last four steps of the previous potion
    Note: these are the potions I made but you can experiment with other ones

Harry Potter Jeopardy

-
Instead of doing a quiz this week I thought it would be fun to make a Harry Potter Trivia Jeopardy. You can play this by yourself to test your Harry Potter knowledge or you can play with some friends and make it a real Jeopardy game. Let me know if I should do more of there. Note: I'm planning on continuing my blog next year so this wont be the last post :) https://www.superteachertools.us/jeopardyx/jeopardy-review-game.php?gamefile=2591879#.XPp-oxZKjcs

Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans Tutorial

-
Image
This tutorial is short and easy and is super fun to make for a bigger event. Since its rather low effort its a good party favor or just a fun thing to make for yourself or your friends. I made these for a Harry Potter party I had a while back and they were a big hit. What makes Bertie Botts so fun to make is that you can make them very accurate since gross jelly beans became a thing when bean boozled came out. So now you could actually get a bogie flavored bean... I don't know if that's a good thing but at least it speaks true to the Harry Potter series. Supplies:  1. Normal jelly beans 2. Bean boozled jelly beans 3. Bertie Botts box printable (Link Below) 4. Scissors 5. Glue gun 6. Plastic wrap or clear plastic from something else ( be creative) Note: Bean boozled packages contain normal and gross jelly beans so the normal jelly beans are optional or vice versa depending on how accurate you want to be  Steps: 1. Print out the box (preferably...

My Favorite Store: Primark

Primark is the best store for practically anything, other than food of course, its no target. But its the absolute best store to buy anything from home goods to clothes. If you're a fan of Disney or Harry Potter this is the best place to buy any and all of your merchandise. And the best part is...it costs practically nothing! At least when you're in Europe. (There are a few stores in America but its still expensive...shipping costs and stuff). So to provide a little background; Primark is a retail clothing store from Ireland (there they call it Pennys). They have ridiculously cheap products. Every time I go to Germany I go to Primark and just spend all of my money. In this blog I'm going to be mentioning euros a lot so just know that one dollar is about 1.12 euros. When I went to Germany I spent about 150 euros which sounds like a lot but I got 3 HUGE bags and two little ones full of stuff for it, Scented Candy Floss Candle  (Honey Dukes Collection) so it was a gr...
