© About.com's DIY Fashion Section Instructions Maroon and Gold are the colors of Gryffindor house, and you'll need to show them off on Harry's tie, scarf and robe. Scarf Make a Gryffindor scarf, such as the Gryffindor Scarf pattern available in about.com's DIY Fashion section, or one of Leaky Crafts' own knit or crochet versions. Tie Start out with a gold tie. Use red fabric paint to add the lines on the tie. If you're using paint and a brush, employ a ruler to help you make straight lines. A fabric pen works much easier in this case and most fabric stores have them in many colors. Make two thick lines, then skip an inch and make a very thin line. Skip another inch and repeat this pattern. Robes Make your own Gryffindor Robe in any size using the How-To Gryffindor Robes tutorial available in about.com's DIY Fashion section, or the Simple Canon Robes tutorial here on Leaky Crafts. Glasses Find a pair of glasses at your local thrift store, or make your own with the Print a Pair of Harry Potter Glasses tutorial available in about.com's DIY Fashion section. Hair Harry's dark brown mop top is easy for most kids to pull off. If you have lighter hair, there are lots of semi-permanent hair colors out there to try if you don't mind committing to brown hair for a few months. Wand Any thin stick can be made into a wand. Peel off any bark and use a piece of sandpaper to smooth down the sides of the stick. For a pointed end, use a small knife to whittle the end of the stick. Shaving the end of the stick should be done with adult supervision. Apply a dark or light wood varnish to your smoothed wand. You could also use about.com DIY Fashion's Easy Pencil Wand for kids, or one of the many wand tutorials available on Leaky Crafts in the Woodwork and Other Crafts sections, or spring for a toy Harry Potter wand. School Uniform Look in your local thrift stores for a white button-down shirt and a black or gray vest to wear over it. Wear a pair of black slacks, or make your own simple black drawstring pants, using the tutorial available on about.com in their DIY Fashion section. Black dress shoes will work for your feet.

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 licenses to these patterns and tutorials, which means you CANNOT use their patterns to make something that you will sell to others afterward. 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!
