Here’s the first wand I’ve ever actually finished. I made it for a Hufflepuff in a Harry Potter care package swap I was in a few months ago. I’m pretty happy with it.

I’ve made a few different sets of these dragon eggs in a wooden chest for Game of Thrones swaps and another as a present for my father (note: not a wedding present). They’re a lot of fun to make, and I can make each one unique with different types of dragons and colors of eggs.

Sticking with me partially scary theme of crafts this October, here are two ATCs I made for the X-Files. They were of two of my swap-bot partner’s favorite episodes. I designed them to look like FBI case files and actually cut up a real manila file folder to make them. I typed up descriptions and made fake little Polaroid photos for the inside as well. They are possibly the most fun I’ve ever had with ATCs!

It being October, I looked for scary crafts to showcase here and didn’t come up with too much.
So here are my favorite boys out hunting demons in their little impala matchbox.
I used lots of different shots of the impala from the show, resized, and fit them together to form the car. Inside is a devil’s trap and supplies needed for a good salt & burn.

Here’s an ATC I made of Dawn from Buffy the vampire slayer.
The quote I used was: “I could so save the world if somebody handed me superpowers!” ~Dawn Summers

Here’s a spot for socks without matches to find a most important home: with house elves.
This was another craft inspired by several different versions I saw on Pinterest. I made this for a swap, but I also wanted to make one for my local Harry Potter group because we’re having a tea in honor of Dobby (and his tea cozy). But I made mine more general for any house elf that needs freeing.
Materials:
- Chalk board
- Clothespin
- Chalk
- Sock
- Glue gun
- Markers

My swap partner in a Sherlock swap mentioned liking stuffies. And I was getting a little tired of making Sirius stuffies and Baskerville hound stuffies. I thought to make this into a stuffie a while back, but never had a reason. This was it!
Thus, I made a Moriarty apple stuffie:
I feel like the letters are a little more squished than they should be, but otherwise it came out rather nicely and it was fun to make!

Apparently, I skipped a craft post! Here it is, a little late: a Captain Jack Sparrow ATC. It was for one part of a series of Johnny Depp characters; this was the only swap in the series I joined.

Back:
I created and/or cut out these small elements and it felt like I was scrapbooking on a smaller scale here 
I had a hard time finding a map I liked and coloring it to fit my scheme.

Made for a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy swap package that I angeled, here’s a bookmark and a stuffie of the green guy:
The fingers and teeth were the hardest part–so intricate and small. But I think it turned out all right in the end.

As tomorrow is July 4th here in the US, I thought this was an appropriate craft post. This is my Captain America ATC:
