Quiddich Drills, Potions Class, and a Sorting

I hit up thrift stores and crafted through the pandemic to create a fun-filled afternoon for all ages. My shindig was filled to the brim with details that were curated from a long term Pinterest query and refinement. The result had guests asking why I am not in the business of party planning.

I do not have pictures of everything. Here is the link to the Pinterest page where I organized the party elements: https://pin.it/4DKPzrk

• Jennie

  Jennie tackled turning the Home Depot Bone Throne from its black and gold theme to a black and white theme with some gold accents still visible. This idea was taken from the Facebook 12 foot skeleton group.

• Agnes

  Crafting

  Agne is my mother in law and has patiently cut, glued, and crafted with me for two years for this party.

• Darlene

  Crafting

  Darlene is my mom. For two years, she has crafted, sewn, and come up with solutions for this party. She made my Beauxbatons cape from instructions and a pattern on a blog. She made the cornish pixies, and so many other loved details.

• Kelli

  Crafting

  Kelli is my neighbor who stepped to the plate on the quiddich robes when I needed to get the heat transfer vinyl on them. She learned the process and positioned all the lettering and numbers. She also has been my wreath buddy this year. Skills I learned crafting with her went into two wreaths. One on the front door, and one on my room.

• Greg

  Magic Maker

  Greg made a pensieve out of an old piece of furniture for the party. He made the quiddich hoops, and was in charge of everything important on a large scale. He also was the chef.

  Greg has promised that the next party must be a tree party, because we are already decorated in the forest for that.
