This past Christmas, I got really crafty. I love making things for people, and with the help of Pinterest, I learned a few new tricks.
This is my first Christmas living away from home (and when I say away from home, I mean half a mile away, in my own apartment lol). But it was my first year with my own Christmas tree.
The tree itself was pretty lame, so I decided to make some cool ornaments to put on it so I didn't have to buy a bunch of them. I bought clear ornaments from Hobby Lobby for like $6 or $7 and then I printed out some of my favorite quotes from different books and i slipped them in the ornament! And voila!
This one is full of quotes from The Hunger Games :)
This one has random book quotes in it.
I always like to make my best friend fun things for holidays. When we were younger we LOVED (like, literally loved) Harry Potter (i don't know why I'm making "love" past tense, our love has only grown since childhood). So, anyway, we had a theme this Christmas...
Have yourself a Harry Christmas
So I made her (and myself, obviously) a Harry Potter ornament. It is full of all of our favorite Harry Potter quotes :) <3
I also made her a DIY Harry Potter sharpie mug. I learned how to make it on Pinterest. All you need is, well, i guess, anything porcelain would work. For example, I've done mugs, plates, bowls, and even a butter dish. It needs to be porcelain though. So you take your sharpie (which can be any color), and you write whatever you want. When you're finished you put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 mins. I put it in there for an hour just to be safe, but it's whatever.
Quote: "The stories we love best live in us forever" -J.K. Rowling (i literally can't read that without tearing up)
I also made her a Harry Potter card (i have a lot of extra time on my hands, plus i'm a big geek). I googled the exact Harry Potter font too haha.
I messed up on this part. Don't judge me (as if you weren't already hahahaha).
Hope you enjoyed my DIY ornaments and Potter fetish haha! :)
