got both ideas from some other blogs that held some SUPER epic harry potter parties
(have the links saved somewhere but don't have them atm)
basically, i knew i really wanted to paint the platform 9 3/4 sign (lol)
and maybe even emulate the brick wall that they run through
Basically just bought a piece of maroon cardboard from the newsagency
Had a bunch of paint leftover from my scrapbooking days - just needed black, white and gold - so i didn't even need to spend money on that
final step was just to print out a picture of the sign from the movies
started out with a faint pencil sketch
then painted from inside to outside
so started with the logo, before moving on to the edges and the lettering
final product:
for the brickwall, i just bought a 2m piece of calico
then painted the bricks with a piece of red and black paint
before splattering the leftover paint (diluted with water) to make some splatters
super fun!
unfortunately, i didn't take a picture of the final product for the brickwall
but it was awesome painting the bricks :P
i didn't allow myself to do anything for a couple of days while i finished my assignment
but yeah, super hard not thinking about it xD
donna.
