I didn't realized this until the day I posted my nephews Math X HarryPotter Day pictures.
My brother texted me on 25th Aug asking me to help with his sons' school project.
themed: Harry Potter.
He said the project is for the coming Monday 27th Aug.
So, I helped by sending pictures (see below)
by this point, I was actually angan2 kan buat kan wand. but since last minit, I didn't say anything.
by Monday night, i texted, "hows the nephews' project?"
he said it was actually for the coming Saturday, 1st Sep.
Suspen.
but now that I have time, I told him that I will make them a wand each. coz I thought it'd be a fun project.
So, I went and bought the supplies.
I even went and eat at a sushi place just so I could take the one-time used chopstick home. ('tapau' was my choice of word that day LOL). of course I cleaned them before hand.
took me 5 hours to finish and a full day to dry the paint.
it was worth it.
I was so pleased with the outcome.
the third short wand is for my niece.
I didn't think it would come out like it did.
I was so blown.
like,
So Saturday happened and I only remembered to ask late Sunday night.
my brother said; teachers were impressed. they thought the boys bought the costume. the older one said his mom made the robe and the wand is hand-made.
I also made them a badge with the house of their choice. the oldest picked Slytherin coz he wanted snake (i think he already made a plan with his friends) and the little one wanted blue, Ravenclaw.
pictures used for of the badges. but no picture of actual badge.
coz I'm a terrible blogger.
lol

Turned out 1st September is the official Back To Hogwarts Day. and now I understand why my nephews' school decided to do their theme on that day. I also thought, the teacher who suggested that theme must be a Potterhead. LOL
No matter, I'm glad to help my nephews with their projects. It made me realize I can do crafty thing. I mean I always know I can, but that tiny validation and appreciation of my work made me believe that I truly can.
So, thank you brother for the opportunity.
this little project inspired me to become a wand maker.

A/N: apologies for the bad quality of pictures. especially the one with grey blocks. My room was super messy at that point of my life hence the grey blocks. I promise my life is starting to get less cluttery now. I'm learning and reminding myself to take proper pictures for blogging in the future. #hwaiting
