Celebrating Harry Potters Birthday Harry Potter Craft Idea

Harry Potter Craft

Did you know that Harry Potter's birthday was just a couple of weeks ago?  We celebrated by checking out the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Play in New York and today I am sharing a fun Harry Potter Craft idea. New York is one of my favorite cities to visit and when I visit it is usually just for a weekend. This post contains affiliate links.

We saw the play the day before Harry Potter's birthday and I was excited to see the play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, based on the book by J. K  Rowland. I had not read the book and was excited to see the story at Hogwarts unfold. 

 

 

Harry Potter and the Cursed Chile Play

By the way, if you are planning on seeing the play, you need to know that it is in two parts. So you either attend two nights in a row or attend a matinee and then again in the evening in order to see the play in its entirety. One of the cool things about the play is the decor in the Lyric theatre that was fully decked out in Potter-esque decor.  To see the craft idea, just scroll below.

The play was fabulous and I can't say enough about the cast members and the incredible effects that take place on the stage and in the theater, in front of your own eyes. There is no movie magic here, only lights, staging, and incredible performances. IF you are a Harry Potter fan, you should go see it!

So today I am sharing a fun summer craft idea. This is also a fun activity if you are hosting a Harry Potter movie marathon,

Just, follow the step by step directions below to create a Harry Potter felt bookmark in just about 30 minutes to celebrate this son of the House of Gryffindor.  

Instructions:

Step One

Download patterns, print and cut out with scissors.  Trace patterns on felt with fine tip permanent marker according to directions included on the pattern sheet.

Step Two

Attach two cream circles together with glue to create the head and then attach the hair to the top of the head.

Step Three

Fringe the bottom edge of the burgundy rectangle with scissors but cutting narrow sections.

Step Four

    LOVE it! Scarlet needs it!! She saw Cursed Child and both Cassidy and Scarlet always say, "Keep the secrets!" They literally won't tell me one thing about that play. Not one tiny spoiler!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little.
