In the past, I have based my wrapping around presents I've seen in Harry Potter.
I know it's a bit crazy but... you're watching my video so you're obviously into the same kind of things.
I'm gonna help you do the same thing if you'd like to, of course, base your presents around presents in the
Harry Potter world. You'll know, but the people you give your gifts to won't know.
It'll just look pretty but you'll get to [inaudible]
OK, so let's do the first ones that I've seen, and this is the first one that I based my presents on
was the ones where Molly Weasley gave presents to Fred and George
in, I think it was the fifth one for the Harry Potter. Yes, and the first one that
they do is actually with tissue paper. You can do it with orange
tissue paper, with a maroon bow. It just looks really pretty. This is one she gave to
either Fred or George. The second one she gave was actually at the
same time but it was blue tissue paper and with purple ribbon this time.
But if you put them two together they, do look really pretty together.
That's some of the wrapping that you can do that way with that.
If you also want to do another one, if you've had the pleasure of going to the
Warner Bros Studio Tour, Making of Harry Potter,
you'll have noticed that there are hundreds and hundreds of gifts and
decorations there. They're mainly all gold so that's what I based another...
...another year came where I was thinking I'm gonna do it again because...
And I did it all gold. It's really simple to do this. Obviously it's just
gold wrapping paper and gold ribbon. Now obviously it takes time to wrap presents
really pretty but if you can do it like in all gold and you have all gold
presents it does look really pretty. So this year I'm thinking, what am I gonna wrap
my presents in? I've exhausted my options of presents in Harry Potter.
OK, there's a few other things but they're not really like ones you can really base
a lot of things on. So if I go one step further, and again, with the Studio Tour,
[inaudible]
If you haven't already spotted in the background, I've made a little bird, that you can see in
all of the Harry Potter films in the Great Hall.
The bird with the ribbon and yes, so that was amazing. I was going to make four, for each of the houses.
But of course I made the one house first off, which was Hufflepuff because
that's my house. So I've spray-painted the gold.
It's all gold, but I spray painted the wings like a different kind of gold to
represent the Hufflepuff House. Now, I was gonna make another three to symbolise
other houses because if you see closely in the film, or if you ever go to the
tour, they each have different coloured wings.
Red for Gryffindor, green for Slytherin, blue for Ravenclaw. And I was like, I'm not gonna
have time because I started this in like late November. I just want to get this up
before Christmas, but it was taking so long. So I managed to just do the one. I started on my second one,
and then the resin started leaking everywhere [inaudiable]
properly and then it started hardening. It was such a nightmare.
I think if I do this again, which I will, I'm gonna make four and they're
gonna look all pretty because it's my own decorations that I made. I think I
pretty much have to start next summer because it took me forever to do.
I've got the originals now. I can make them again with it so I'm gonna do it probably.
But I was starting to run out of time and I really wanted to get it out for Christmas.
So there we are. I've got one bird from Harry Potter, my Hogwarts decoration.
I did also find these stars, which I also spray painted. I don't think you can see them dotted
throughout as much as you can see the tree. Because in the tree in Hogwarts,
there's stars, there's these birds and they also have these kind of ones
with like moons. But again, I couldn't find moons and I was running out of time
so I was like OK look, let's do two stars and one bird. Let's fill it up as red
because of doing red and gold this year. And this obviously fits in really well
because of the Hufflepuff and gold and it fits so nicely. So that's my Christmas and I
thought I would just give you some ideas.
If you wanted to wrap your presents like Harry Potter as well, because I've been
living very Harry Potter-ly and this is my philosophy for the New Year. I'm going to
try make more videos with Harry Potter-based content.
This is a Happy Christmas from me.
Living a Harry Potter life.
Actually let's say more of a Wizarding World life, let's say that.
Wizarding World life. I think that's probably better because that kind of covers both.
So for me, it's a Happy Christmas. My wonderful Christmas tree, it's a
Happy Christmas and to a wonderful New Year. Feel the positivity, lots of fun and
regular Wizarding World videos for myself.
