An easy-to-make and pretty decoration for potterheads. :) it can be used as a hair clip, badge, brosche and more.
This is a very easy and low-budget thing to make, I only used stuff that can be found around the house, and it looks so cute :3

After you have finished, you can attach it to a hair clip, necklace, pin or anything at all. I wouldn't recommend wearing it outside though, it's pretty fragile.

Enjoy :3

Step 1
You will be making a little book, glasses, golden snitch and magic wand. Let's start with a book.

Put a bunch of papers together (depending on how thick your book will be) and cut out a small rectangle out of them. Those will be the pages. Then cut out two small cardboard pieces just a tiny bit bigger than the paper pieces. To make the cover prettier, I took some wrapping paper-like material and cut out a piece twice as big as the pages.
Step 2
After that, just glue them together. You can also put in a little title like I did, or decorate it in your own way. I suggest gluing it completely, so that the pages won't separate.

That's 1/4 parts done. :3
Step 3
While the glue on the book is drying, we will be making a golden snitch.

You'll need a little yellow bead (mine isn't exactly round but whatever), a thin and soft wire that's easy to bend, and if you want to you can draw spirals on the bead with a thin black marker.
Step 4
Bend the wire to form the wings. You can make it all out of one piece of wire, just pull it through the center of the bead.

I have to give credit to Debbie-chan for this, her lockets inspired me on how to make the wings.

We're 2/4 done now. :3
Step 5
For the glasses you will need a thin, bendable black wire (or you can paint it later). If you want, you can make little circles from transparent plastic to fill the holes. I gave this up and just used a wire. :p
Step 6
After you bend the wire the glasses should look something like this. They should be pretty small, just a bit longer than the book.

This is 3/4 parts done. :3
Step 7
For the wand you'll need a tiny wooden stick (I carved it out of a bigger piece of wood) and it should be black. You also need a really thin wire to make the spark thingies.

Just wrap the wires around the wand and form little spirals.
Step 8
The wand should look like this in the end.

Now you have made 4/4 pieces, all that's left is to glue them together and wait at least a few hours for it to dry.
Step 9
Have fun figuring out what to do with this... I still haven't. x3

Thanks for reading!
