Growing Mandrakes © HM Caspar Supplies Small plastic cup One lady's knee-high nylon stocking Potting soil or planting medium Grass seed (find something that says 'fast-growing' on the label) Googly eyes Glue Scissors Instructions Pour one or two teaspoons full of grass seed in toe of stocking. Carefully pour one cup of potting soil on top of grass seed. Work soil down stocking, shaking and molding form into the shape and size of a small potato. Tie a knot in the stocking, just below soil to hold shape. Trim excess stocking tail below the knot, leaving 3 or 4 inches to wick moisture up into the soil. Invert 'mandrake' into the cup, stocking tail in the base of the cup and seed-filled toe sticking out the top. Glue a pair of googly eyes just above the lip of the cup. Keep your mandrake well watered - an inch of water in the base and sprinkled over the top. In a few days the grass seed will start to sprout, and in a week or two your mandrake will have a hilariously full, bushy head of hair! Final Product  Credit HM Caspar's tutorial was taken with permission. Please note that the patterns and tutorials you find here have been designed by Harry Potter fans all over the Internet. The authors alone hold the copyrights and licences to these patterns and tutorials, which means you CANNOT use their patterns to make something that you will sell to others afterwards. You can use them to make things for yourself. You can make some for your friends and ask them to pay for supplies. You CANNOT, however, ask them to pay you to do it as though you had created this pattern by yourself, or try to sell you crafts to a local store. Think about it. Would you take a Prisoner of Azkaban book, photocopy it, put your name in big red letters on the front cover and try to sell it in your local library? The answer is, obviously, no. Well, selling crafts you have made but not designed would be just as bad!
