    Default Three Wand Boxes

    For the 3 gk's for Christmas. All mad hp fans. I started just with the wands, the boxes were an after thought. I hope they like them!

    They surely will. That looks amazing!
    How did you do the colors and labels on the boxes?

    I've made a few of these over the years for my daughter's friends when she was younger, but never as fancy as those and never in boxes. My wife would normally make up material draw string bags for them. Yours look fantastic.

    The colours were hand painted with acrylic artist paint and the label was printed out and stuck on to the lids with pva. Then clear matte spray coat

    That's really impressive presentation!

    I've included a "wand testing banana"* with some wands for younger kids, and instructions to use the "Diffindo" severing charm to drain the last of the magic in order to make the wand safe for everyday use.

    So the recipient can feel that the wand was really magic, at least once ...




    * Google something like pre-cut banana prank needle ....
    Basically a banana pre-sliced without breaking the skin

    Thanks
    I like the diffindo concept and yeah I could have got away with that with the youngest. But the other 2 no way
