Use polymer clay to create your own miniature potted Harry Potter-Inspired Mandrake Roots!

Harry Potter Mandrakes in Pots

Oh, how I love making Harry Potter-inspired crafts. Polymer clay is a lot of fun to work with, and is the perfect medium to make these grumpy, little, potted mandrakes! Like Pygmy Puffs, Mandrakes are also creatures that are briefly mentioned in the Harry Potter books. This is probably one of my favorite projects that I've made. I start laughing every time I look at them on display, which is just what this Potterhead needs!

Make your own plush Pygmy Puff pet, a fluffy, magical creature from the Harry Potter books!

DIY Plush Harry Potter Pygmy Puff

Back again with another fun Harry Potter project! Today is all about Pygmy Puffs, which are a fluffy, magical creature that is briefly mentioned in Harry Potter. My daughter loves the idea of owning her own Pygmy Puff, so we decided to make one ourselves! We had a lot of fun picking out *just* the right fabric and working together to create this little puffball creature that immediately stole our hearts.

For those who haven't read the books, here's the description according to Harry Potter Wiki: “A Pygmy Puff is a miniature Puffskein, bred in the back of Fred and George Weasley’s shop Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes at 93 Diagon Alley in London, and sold there as one of the known products in the WonderWitch range. It is one of their most popular products, as George said they were having trouble breeding them fast enough for the demand. Ginny Weasley bought a purple Pygmy Puff named Arnold in 1996, which she frequently played with at Hogwarts.”

So, what are you waiting for? Let's make some Pygmy Puff plushies!!

DIY Paracord Bracelets

Last summer we took on the Percy Jackson Challenge, and my daughter has been obsessed with Greek mythology ever since. She has read The Trials of Apollo series from Rick Riordan multiple times, and is SO excited for the release of book #5 coming this October!

With so many summer camps cancelled this year, young readers can still go to camp - at Camp Half-Blood! We did all kinds of fun activities at our at-home camp, like reading books and making paracord bracelets to represent Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter from The Trials of Apollo series!

Build your own Paracord Jig from a yardstick to help make paracord projects a breeze!

DIY Paracord Jig with Paracord Bracelet

My daughter just got into making paracord bracelets, and was getting frustrated by trying to tie freehanded or with the clips taped to the table. I found a bunch of paracord jigs for sale online, and knew there was some way we could make one. Then I found an amazing trick for making one out of a yardstick - genius! It costs almost nothing to make, and can be completed in an afternoon. The bonus is that my daughter is SO happy using this jig for her paracord projects, and is completed in half the time!!
