My Favorite Store: Primark

Image
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).

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.

Print out the box (preferably
