\"Harry<\/p>\n

Play The Part with Movie Jewelry You Make Yourself:
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Life can sometimes get a little too serious. So it’s good to have fun once in a while with your bead making! That’s why I made the Harry Potter Book Charm and Hedwig Owl Bead pictured<\/span> in today’s photo, strung onto a necklace. Perfect timing for the opening of the new Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie that’s just come out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turns out my daughter got to wear it first when she and her brother went with their Grandparents to see the show… while my DH and I stayed home and worked (bummer). But I have had the chance to wear it since, and will definitely wear it when I do eventually get to see the movie for myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea came from playing around with Studio by Sculpey Clay<\/a>, and trying out some faux leather techniques. Then I thought it would be fun to make a tiny leather book charm. As the project progressed, it started looking ‘Potter-ish’ so an HP went on the cover.<\/span><\/p>\n

The book by itself looked lonely, which is why I also created the Hedwig Owl bead to go along with the theme. This little owl turned out to be harder than I thought, since sculpting isn’t really my forte. But it’s all still cute, don’t ya think?<\/span><\/p>\n

The kids and I have been Potter fans since the beginning. Read all the books to them, seen all the movies and even made a pair of Radish Earrings<\/a> in honor of the eccentric character, Luna Lovegood.<\/span><\/p>\n

I could see other uses for beads that look like books, especially if you are making your own beaded bookmarks<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

So who else shares my passion for Potter? Have you ever made movie or character inspired jewelry, just for the fun of it? I’m dying to know if you’re just as silly as me!<\/span><\/p>\n
