Bethlehem Church Christmas Party

Harry Potter Party

I went to the $1 store and bought "science fair" folded cardboard displays.  I painted a large window and then painted bricks all around for most of them.  I glued a sign (one for each location in Hogsmeade) at the top center of the windows or on the bricks on the sides.  I love how they turned out.  Even my daughter helped paint the bricks.

At Madam Malkins we will make house flags and ties. 

At the Daily Prophet we play word games with these puzzles.  We will also make Shrink Dink charm bracelets.

Boys Camp Care Package

The theme for this years boys camp is BOOT Camp (Build Our Own Troop).  The scripture that goes with this is 1 Peter 3:8.

I made camouflage bandanas and put the BOOT CAMP logo on them with iron-on Cricut vinyl.

Short Speeches were assigned to the boys for evening firesides including topics:  Unity, Charity, Brotherly Kindness, Armor of God, Faith in Christ, Scripture Study, Prayer, I can do Hard Things, Peace in Tribulations.

I have leather stamps and 2" squares of leather that the boys made leather key chains with.  I also sent 4x6 (3 pack) canvas with rocks/pebbles from the DollarTree to make pebble art.  The boys loved these activities.  Other activities included hiking, water skiing, and fishing.

I sent them with board games including "Battle Ship".  Sent them with small Army Men from DollarTree.

I sent a picture of Christ to hang in camp.

Gun powder went with Pixi Sticks

Adult Harry Potter Robe from a Twin Sheet

I purchased one black twin sheet for $5

and with the following instructions was able to make an adult Harry Potter Robe.  I also made a blue lining one for the Ravenclaw House.  First I took out the large top seam of the sheet to give me a few more inches that are needed.  Then I folded the sheet as follows and cut:

  The robe/cloak is the larger piece and the sleeves are the 17 inch piece.  The sleeves need to be cut apart and the extra piece is for the hood.  Once my pieces were cut out I sewed as follows:

Bring edges to the center of cloak/robe piece.  Sew the shoulder together & sew on hood after sewing the shoulders together.  Sew the seams of the sleeves and attach to the cloak piece were you made slits for the sleeve (arm hole).

*To add lining, make two identical robes and put right sides together and sew around the front & hood piece to finish.  Turn the cloak right side out.  Trim the sleeves to the correct length for your arms (I cut off 4 inches).  Iron a 1/4 inch seam allowance at the end of the sleeves and sew lining together with robe.  

** The Ravenclaw crest is from a napkin and I laminated it.  I will sew it on, or glue it on, or wait for an iron on patch.

***Can also attach a button or hook/eye, etc to the robe/cloak to keep closed.
