DIY Harry Potter Series – Weasley Wheezes Mini Skiving Snackbox

As part of my ongoing ornament exchange with other HP lovers across the world, I decided to make a Mini Skiving Snackbox for a ‘Anything Weasley Themed‘ month.  A very easy DIY made from recyclable materials.

Materials

• A small, open-able square box (I was lucky enough to have a bunch of mini boxes saved from different packages).
• Acrylic paints – Brick red, Forest Green, Bright Teal, Orange, Yellow, Brown, Purple, Pale Blue, Red
• Small pieces of styrofoam or wooden pieces
• Scissors, Hot Glue, Matte Mod Podge
• Skiving Snack Labels from Google (these are the ones I used; Skiving Snack Labels)
• Assorted Weasley Wheezes logo labels (A Google search will yield multiple images)
• Ribbon (preferably orange or red)

Process

1. Paint the outside of your entire box brick red and let dry. Use 2 coats.
2. Paint the inside of the top of your box forest green and the inside of the bottom teal and let dry.
3. Cut out the snack labels and stick one on each side of the bottom inner section with mod podge.
   

   
4. To create the snacks, use small pieces of styrofoam in different shapes. The box consists of 4 main sweets.
   • For the puking pastilles, I used old wooden pieces and painted them half orange and half purple, based on the description.
   • For nosebleed nougat, I painted small irregular shaped pieces of styrofoam a light blue and added purple and orange dots on each half.
   • The fever fudge were slightly longer pieces of styrofoam painted brown with green dots all over.
   • Lastly, the fainting fancies were also styrofoam painted half orange and half yellow.
5. If you have more space in your box, you can make a few more pieces of candy like U-No-Poo pills painted green or Rainbow Drops.
6. Arrange the sweets the way you like them inside the box, making sure everything fits neatly and hot glue everything in place.
   

   

   

   
7. To the outside of the box, stick some Weasley Wheezes labels  with mod podge (I printed a ‘W’ logo, a ‘Patent / Made by Weasley’ sticker and a ‘Skiving Snackbox’ label).
   

   
8. After closing the box, add some orange / red ribbon with a huge bow on top to complete the look.
