![]() When the students at Hogwarts walk into the Great Hall they are greeted by some floating candles. Our Golden Snitch was ready for the game! ![]() I drew lines on the wings and then inserted them into the styrofoam ball. Cut out the wings from yellow paper and glue them over the wooden skewers. While the ball was drying I made the Snitch wings. Then I went over the top with gold craft paint. For the Snitch I started by repainting the ball yellow. This was actually the same styrofoam ball I used for my DIY New Years Eve Ball Drop. With the broomsticks finished the other key element for playing Quidditch was out snitch. So half the brooms were wrapped in red duct tape and half in white duct tape. Knowing that we would be playing Quidditch at the party I used two different colors of duct tape, one color for each team. Wrap the cut tablecloth around one end of the wooden dowel and secure with the duct tape. ![]() Then each of those fourths gets slits cut into it, along the short side. I first cut the tablecloth into fourths, lengthwise. Start cutting long strips from the plastic tablecloths. You’re essentially making tassels to go on the end of the dowels that act as broomsticks. These brooms were probably the easiest of the Harry Potter DIY’s. Harry has a few brooms he uses including his Nimbus 2000 and his Firebolt that Sirius Black sends him.Īs I was planning our Harry Potter party I knew that broomsticks had to be on the list. I used different shades on the different textures to create dimension shading and personality to make each wand unique.Įssential to Quidditch, and an important part of the Harry Potter books, are the brooms. Then it’s time to personalize! I used craft paints in shades of browns, black, and white to paint the wands. I started with a coat of solid black spray paint on each wand. With the twine and hot glue on the sticks it’s time to paint them. ![]() I did this by wrapping the rope and twine around the wands and also by adding dollops of hot glue. The first step was to add texture and dimension to the wands. Of all the Harry Potter crafts, this one probably takes the most creativity. What is a wizard, or a witch, without a wand? Of course throwing a Harry Potter party one of the first DIY projects I tackled were some homemade wands. The sky was getting darker, as though night hadĭecided to come early.Ready to host a Harry Potter party? Or maybe you just want to make a DIY Harry Potter costume?

Pulling the broom straight appears to both brake and level the broomstick. He leant forward and grasped theīroom tightly in both hands and it shot towards Malfoy like a javelin. Leaning your body forward (and grasping the broom to prevent if from pointing downwards) causes the broom to accelerate. He pulled his broomstick up a little to take it even higher and heard screams and gasps of girls back on the ground and an admiring whoop from Ron. ‘Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet and then come straight backĭown by leaning forwards slightly. Leaning forward (pointing the broom downwards) causes the broom to descend.
