Harry Potter Craft Book? Yes, Please!

July 29, 2016 7:31 am

My Muggles in my Girl Scout troop are going to love this: I’m anxiously awaiting the Amazon delivery of The Unofficial Guide to Crafting the World of Harry Potter: 30 Magical Crafts for Witches and Wizards-from Pencil Wands to House Colors Tie-Dye Shirts.

When my friend told me about this book, I admittedly dismissed it. After all, I had seen scores of wand crafts and Griffindor shirts that you can make on Pinterest.

But I finally got online and checked out the preview and the table of contents, and I am so excited about this craft book! There are Harry Potter themed crafts for school, your bedroom or locker, beauty, and for wearing.

I love some of the names for these Harry Potter craft projects:

• Butterbeer lip balm and Pigmy Puff Bath Fizzies (hmm…spa badge?)
• Spellbook journal
• Monsters Book of Monsters book cover (back to school craft?)
• Dementor soap (Halloween-themed spa night?)
• House colors sugar scrub
• Free Dobby Laundry Hamper
• Wall Mirror of Erised
• Lumos/Nox light switch cover (Earth Day?)

You could even wrap these HP projects with a cooking day, using recipes from  Magical Summer Sweets: Harry Potter Inspired Recipes or Magical Menu: Harry Potter Cooking for Christmas Meals. Enjoy!

4. I need to amend this to add that I did get the book in the mail, and I love it. I’m debating how best to use this with my scouts – on our Harry Potter themed overnight or a fun twist on the retired Spa Interest Project! 🙂

   1. I had fun playing with the pigmy puff bath bombs this weekend. You know, in the name of testing it out for a troop project. 😉
