As any Harry Potter fan knows, 11 is a big year. It's the year you get accepted into Wizardry school. So this morning Kate awoke to an owl (stuffed) waiting with her Hogwarts acceptance letter :)
I found the Hogwarts logo and McGonagall's signature online, and printed off the pages on regular paper. I then dyed them with tea and hung them on the line to dry.
Once dry I dampened the edges and burned them to make it look like old parchment - and Voila! an authentic looking Hogwarts acceptance letter.
I made an editable file of this - so I can email it to anyone who wants to make one too :)

ReplyDeleteI did this for my 12th birthday :) I made the letters and put my friends names in them it was great.
