DIY Harry Potter Series – Mini Scabbers & Hogwarts Candy Trolley

Happy Valentine’s Day. I couldn’t stay away from making Harry Potter themed ornaments. I’ve always wanted 2 ornaments on my tree: a Scabbers cup and a candy trolley from Hogwarts, but never got around to making them. Finally decided on it. I love how it’s turned out and it only requires air dry clay and paints. Perfect DIYs for kids.

You will need:

1. Air dry clay
2. Hot glue gun
3. Paints – brown, gold
4. For the trolley, I got s mini trolley from Michaels

Process:

Scabbers Cup

1. Use the air dry clay to make a cup shape resting on a base. Attach a long strand to the base of the cup to form the tail.
2. Paint everything brown with a gold base. Let everything dry.

Hogwarts Candy Trolley

1. Attach some wire to the trolley before you start creting candy.
2. I made some sugar quills in a jar for shelf one, along with candy doughnuts and asorted colored sweets. For shelves 2 and 3, I made assorted sugared wands and candy bon-bons. MAking candy was the most fun part of this DIY.
3. Once everything is painted and dry, hot glue everything to the different shelves.
