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

I even made them watch the first Harry Potter movie. but ended up cFatzeem saja yg stay meliat smpi habis.

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
