Severus Snape Wand

Remember my crazy and convoluted giveaway? Ewa (The Old Maid) from The Sunny 1:12 Miniatures won and has finally received her package, so now I can show everyone what I made! I didn't want to spoil the surprise for her so I've been waiting patiently XD.

However, in my excitement I only took pictures of the wand before sending it off... forgot to take pictures of the newspapers (Daily Prophets). Maybe Ewa will post some, check out her blog tomorrow and see what she says about it all :).
My husband wanted me to make these more traditional wand boxes so I gave it a try for the giveaway. I am very happy on how it turned out so I will be making many, many more! There are so many colors I can paint the boxes and then all the ribbon styles I can include... I already bought velvet ribbon for the lining and other sheer ribbons for the wraps. I'm thinking of incorporating either labels or some kind of fancy monogramming on the box. But plain looks good too, I think.

What do you all think about my new box? And the Snape wand too of course, I really had a hard time letting go of that one!

Congrats on the win Ewa!!!

  3. I agree with your hubby, the new wand boxes are fabulous and in the films they are actual boxes like this (with lids etc).

  4. Love them and I also think the boxes are great.

    A monogram would be cool though.

    I love the way you used the ribbon for the wrapping.

  10. Thank you EVERYONE! It's your kind support that keeps me going :). My favorite part is the sheer ribbon. Although it's beautifully flowy, when I cut it down to mini size it became stiffer than I would have liked. I had to tape it down in that pose for the camera.
