PotterPost Today: Harry Gets Handmade

Creative Harry Potter fans don't just stick with the images of Harry Potter objects they picture in their heads while reading the books. They get smart and make their own, and if they're smarter, they earn from what they make. Here are five of the most interesting pieces I found a etsy.com:


This golden snitch impression is as good as the real thing you pictured in the books or saw in the movies, and to think it's really simple to make! All you need is a gold spherical charm with accents (or in this case, a spherical accented watch), 2 pieces of wing charms, 2 gold jump rings, 1 gold lobster clasp, and a gold chain. Put them all together, and you'll end up making something like this. 

Enchanted Golden Snitch WATCH necklace is available at worldshine for $3.88 USD






Now, here's a really creative one - the artist behind this almost-perfect
 time turner used an actual time turner piece to mazke this gorgeous collectible. Plus, it comes with a personalised note! A perfect gift for a Potter-crazy friend of yours who always wanted a time turner and a touch of magic to their life.



Need some luck? Well this might help you! OK, I'm kidding, but it's no joke that this
 Felix Felicis-inspired necklace is genius! It looks as though it came straight from Professor Slughorn's potions class! If you want to make one of your own, all you need is a tiny flask (if you find a tiny flask shaped like this, I'll give 10 points to your house!) with an eye hole at the cork, yellow/gold-coloured gel or paint or gold seed beads to fill the flask, a nice chain, put all of them together, and viola - your own liquid luck necklace!


Liquid Luck Necklace - Inspired by Harry Potter is available at BitOfSugar for $7.50 USD 






This Amortentia necklace is the perfect gift for your crazy Harry Potter fan girl on Valentine's Day. It's sexy, charming, and really enchanting.



Let us not forget that Harry Potter changed the way people pictured wands. Glittery sticks with ribbons and a star on top is out, while wooden sticks with wand accents are in! This wand impression reminds me of Hermione's. If you find the ones at The Noble Collection too pricey, try getting this one - you won't be sorry!


Whimsy Wand is available at gibsonholm for $25.00 USD
