This is a very easy and low-budget thing to make, I only used stuff that can be found around the house, and it looks so cute :3

After you have finished, you can attach it to a hair clip, necklace, pin or anything at all. I wouldn't recommend wearing it outside though, it's pretty fragile.

Enjoy :3

You Will Need (8 things)

  • tiny thin Wire
  • A Wooden Stick
  • bendable Wire (black and gray)
  • 1 yellow Bead(s)
  • Glue
  • thin Cardboard
  • Paper
  • Scissors

Steps (9 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    You will be making a little book, glasses, golden snitch and magic wand. Let's start with a book.

    Put a bunch of papers together (depending on how thick your book will be) and cut out a small rectangle out of them. Those will be the pages. Then cut out two small cardboard pieces just a tiny bit bigger than the paper pieces. To make the cover prettier, I took some wrapping paper-like material and cut out a piece twice as big as the pages.

  2. 2

    After that, just glue them together. You can also put in a little title like I did, or decorate it in your own way. I suggest gluing it completely, so that the pages won't separate.

    That's 1/4 parts done. :3

  3. 3

    While the glue on the book is drying, we will be making a golden snitch.

    You'll need a little yellow bead (mine isn't exactly round but whatever), a thin and soft wire that's easy to bend, and if you want to you can draw spirals on the bead with a thin black marker.

  4. 4

    Bend the wire to form the wings. You can make it all out of one piece of wire, just pull it through the center of the bead.

    I have to give credit to Debbie-chan for this, her lockets inspired me on how to make the wings.

    We're 2/4 done now. :3

  5. 5

    For the glasses you will need a thin, bendable black wire (or you can paint it later). If you want, you can make little circles from transparent plastic to fill the holes. I gave this up and just used a wire. :p

  6. 6

    After you bend the wire the glasses should look something like this. They should be pretty small, just a bit longer than the book.

    This is 3/4 parts done. :3

  7. 7

    For the wand you'll need a tiny wooden stick (I carved it out of a bigger piece of wood) and it should be black. You also need a really thin wire to make the spark thingies.

    Just wrap the wires around the wand and form little spirals.

  8. 8

    The wand should look like this in the end.

    Now you have made 4/4 pieces, all that's left is to glue them together and wait at least a few hours for it to dry.

    Have fun figuring out what to do with this... I still haven't. x3

    Thanks for reading!
