    Serendipity Soiree, designed our awesome Hogwarts Express Train Ticket invites and the cupcake toppers that I used in the Sorting hat ceremony as buttons. Chickabug created THE perfect custom border in a variety of sizes for me. I then added the text for all the signs and labels. Both Catherine of Serendipity and Heather of Chickabug, are amazing girls to work with !!!

    LOVED your party decorations! Wondering how you made the checkered banners? Or, did you order them? If so, would love to know your source. I'm organizing a Harry Potter party for my son's 6th birthday.

    First I have to say what a great feeling it is to still be getting WOW's from a party you did almost a year ago !!! AMAZING! THANK YOU ! So, as for the wand boxes, those i made following a tutorial I found online. Let me see if I can find it again and I will post the link. I will say they are VERY time consuming, but the end result is extremely worth it : ) The Olivander stickers I found by doing a google search, I'll look for that also. As for the banner, super easy to make ... I did a search in google images for the colors of each HOUSE. I down loaded the image into paint and printed it out FULL PAGE. Turn the paper landscape and cut into 3 even columns. I slightly bent the paper in half and cut a small angle at the bottom. Using twine I had found at the $ store, I folded the top of the paper over it, glued it and POOF ... my banner ! LOL LOL LOL I will try and gather up some of these links and will post them. Thanks again girls ! Sue
