My duaghters are going as Tonks and Luna(last minute change in plans) I made radish earrings for luna out of red pom-poms and lime green embroidery thread. Used yellowed construction paper with glittered lettering for the quibbler and various sized corks for her necklace(which took awhile, and had to use an srong leather needle) Have the clothes and hair dye for Tonks but would welcome any suggestions for props or jewerly for her. My hubby will be Snape, but, this tear added a red sequin heart to his sleeve and I heart Lily to his robes.

Hello! I'm dressed as Tonks in the pictures earlier in the post.

I've seen several great ideas for her. I personally wear a necklace with bats on it that fits like a choker, but I don't wear earrings when I'm dressed as her.

An Auror badge is always fun.

I have a button maker so I covered my patched jeans with buttons. I have a Hufflepuff crest, one that says Stop Voldemort! and a I heart Werewolves button. I think of her as being a little bit punk, so I tried to go with that.

All my patches were of bits of t-shirts, some machine stitched and some hand sewn. I even did a wand pocket on the side of my jeans. It was a big hit the last time I wore my costume. It worked quite well for keeping my wand out of the way.
