So, you're getting ready to go to Hogwarts? Well done on making it into this prestigious school! Now may I ask what you are gonna write Professor Binns' essay on Giant war with? Hilroy lined paper? That's the surest way to get a detention!

I have a better plan for you. Make your own Parchment Paper! This is really easy to make, and it requires material you probably already have at home (coffee, computer paper, rectangulare pan, cooling rack (use oven racks if you don't have those), and newspaper. That's just to show that everyone can be a little crafty if they want to!

So here's the challenge. If you want to be ready for Hogwarts, you must create a sheet (or two, or three, or 200!) of parchment paper today or tomorrow, then come back here to post a picture, share tips, etc. You may also write a message for Leaky on your parchment if you wish. Why don't you try to do so in Invisible Ink? Kids, make sure Mom and Dad are around before you reveal the message.

All the pictures we receive will be posted in the Harry Potter Crafts galleries. And while you're at it, browse around the crafts section a bit. You may well find a few things in there that are dead easy to make and that will have you change your eternal "I'm not crafty" sayings wink.gif
