Tutorials will be posted, and requests for projects are also accepted by muah (idk about lara...excuse me, luna)
Level of difficulty for tutorials go on the scale of ★ to ★★★★★
1. Harry Potter Wanted Poster & how to weather Paper Difficulty: ★★
Materials:
5-7 Teabags (black tea is best)
bowl/cup of hot water
plain xerox (copy) paper
Paper towels
tray
(optional) ironing board & iron
(optional) Paintbrush
For making poster
same as above
printer & template
1. start off by making tea (put teabags in hot water, wait a few minutes...lalala....). Put a piece of paper on the tray, take a teabag that has been soaking for around 5 min., and rub it gently on the paper. If you rub too hard, the tea bag will rip and tea will go everywhere. Create blotches or go in straight lines or a circular pattern, whichever way you think looks best. If you want, you can gently squeeze a teabag on the paper, then use a paintbrush to spread it around. It looks best if you don't make it the same color throughout.
2. Once you are satisfied with the one side of the paper, let it dry on a radiator or vent for a little while. Then repeat with the other side. Then put the dry paper between some books to press them flat (this way they can go through a printer) you can also use an iron.

For making a wanted poster
1. Go online and look up a picture of the wanted poster you want to make. Here are the links for the templates I made for my Bellatrix and Lucius wanted posters. Click here for them.
Once you've gotten the template in Microsoft word (or other writing programs, text edit, etc), and it's how you want it, take your parchment paper (tutorial above) and carefully put it in the printer. Make sure it's completely flat, so there's no chance the paper will jam the printer. Then, just print it out! Here was my finished Bellatrix Lestrange Poster:
TADAAA!
2. Potions collection Difficulty: ★and a half ish
Materials:
cool glass bottles
Water
liquid food coloring
paper cups
funnel (optional)
extra corks if needed

paper towels
tray
beads/glitter...etc (optional)
1. Take your bottle or jar and rinse it out, then make sure it's dry. Take some water and put it in a cup, then add some of the liquid food coloring and stir. You can also add things in, like beads, glitter, etc.
Here are some things you can brew with the recipe after them
•polyjuice potion
•amortentia
•Mandrake elixer
•felix felicis
•essence of dittany
•gillyweed
Polyjuice potion
for my polyjuice potion, I didn't want to just use water, it wasn't thick enough. So, I took some clear soap and then added some green and a little red food coloring. Perfect! Then I poured it into the bottle (which actually used to be a little plastic water bottle), put an old cork on it, then glued on a cool label that I found online.
Amortentia
Really easy: a few drops of red food coloring and water! You may need to pour more water in again and again so the color is pink. If you want, you can add a favorite smell of yours; I used vanilla and perfume making it smell great. I happened to have a heart-shaped bottle from Michael's (99 cents!) so that was great for it. Then I cut out a label I found online into a heart shape, and glued it on. Tada!
Mandrake Elixer
Super easy: Pour some green, blue, and a little red food coloring into water, putb it in a bottle, and glue on a label!
Felix felicis
For this one, I took some gold colored soap and poured it into a tiny bottle, becuase I couldn't get the color right with food coloring and water. Then I made my own label from some of the parchment (tutorial above) I had and glued it on.
Essence of Dittany
For essence of dittany, I used a tiny bottle I had with a home-made label, and used some clear soap that I dyed brown in it.
Gillyweed
Finally, a use for the ugly fake plant leaves I had! I cut out strips, and put them in a bottle with oil, and put a label on front. If you don't have or want to use oil, dye some clear soap a light yellow brown greenish color.
So that's it! Really easy, really fun, experimentinggg! If you have any suggestions for potions or potion ingredients to make, or any ideas on how to make the, post them!
3. Platform 9 3/4 Sign
Seriously, this is so simple, there doesn't really need to be a tutorial. Take a paper plate, flip it over, and write 9 3/4 on it and embellish it more if you like.
4. Weasley Clock
