Supplies Newspaper Balloon Egg carton cups Paste made from gently heated water & flour or glue 2 Drapery rod rings Black acrylic paint Foam brush Instructions Inflate the balloon and set it rounded side down on top of four egg carton cups. Rip the newspaper into small strips. Mix your paste in a bowl with a mouth wide enough to allow easy dipping or, if using glue, pour the blue into a disposable wide-mouthed bowl. Begin dipping the strips in the paste or glue and placing them around the egg carton cups and balloon, smoothing out wrinkles and forming the shape of a cauldron. Repeat this process of dipping, placing, and smoothing until you are satisfied with the appearance of your cauldron, or until the balloon starts to narrow into a point. You will need several layers of pasted newspaper to get a good thickness.  Allow the cauldron to dry completely, then remove the balloon and egg carton cups. Form a lip for your cauldron by rolling pasted newspaper around the edge of the cauldron, then let that dry completely. Insert the drapery rod rings into the sides with glue, and allow to dry completely. Paint the cauldron black inside and out. Allow to dry thoroughly, then fill with your favorite Hogsmeade treats! Final Product  Credit hardhat_cat's tutorial was taken with permission from the Harry Potter Crafts Yahoo! Group. 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!
