Makers Guide | Yer a Wizard

HAPPEE BIRTHDAE, HARRY!

In honor of Harry Potter’s birthday, I’m interrupting the baby train and sharing a few handmade things for your favorite witch or wizard!

ONE | I’ve been wanting this “Don’t Let the Muggles Get You Down” keychain for a while now — I just can’t decide what color! I’m torn between marigold and teal…

TWO | You can’t go wrong with a pair of snake earrings for that cunning Slytherin in your life! Velvet Orange Designs offers clay pairs in three different colors!

THREE | Sending out some snail mail? Jazzing up your planner? Grab a roll of Magical Washi Tape from Nutmeg and Arlo! You can go with the holographic roll or you can pick your house colors!

FOUR | Stealing away to the kitchen just got a little more magical with this tea towel.

FIVE | If hitting the books like Hermione is more your speed, check out this glasses bookmark!

SIX | Get comfy and rest assured because this Hogwarts sweater is far from a Mrs. Weasley original.

Makers Guide | Halloween Edition

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend and your week is off to a good start.

My previous blog included a Makers Guide category where I highlighted a few items I’ve been eyeballing from people who make and sell material goods in small batches. Since I’m super excited about Halloween, I’ve put together a spooky guide to get you in the spirit too!

1. I have a slight obsession with skulls and this petite skull ring by Callie Jewelry is too cute!

2. Last year, artist Jared Chapman shared a series of illustrated ghosts over old images and I love the feel of every one!

3. This Trick-or-Treat tote from The Little Market is simple, yet screams fall. Even though I won’t be doing any trick-or-treating myself, I’m sure this bag would be great for apple picking.

4. Eeep! How cute are these pins by Sarah Meredith of Rock Cakes?! They’d be the perfect addition to the beanie my Gramma made me last holiday.

5. Yeti Yoga is changing the name of your favorite yoga pose with this Corpse Pose and Chill mat.

6. While I’m definitely rooting for the good side when I read Harry Potter, I must admit that the Dark Mark is a pretty wicked symbol. I guess it’s because it has a snake and a skull in it, both of which I find beautiful… Anywho, I’m loving this enamel Dark Mark pin by Victoria Jung of Potter Project

What spooky things are you excited about this Halloween?
