How to create a Harry Potter themed bedroom:
Potion bottles:
Items needed:
1. Scissors
2. Paper
3. A Wine Bottle
4. A Candle
5. A relatively small stamp (I used an H for Hogwarts!)
6. Matches (or) a lighter
7. Coffee
8. An inky pen
9. A blow dryer (optional)
10. A Plate
11. A Glue Stick
Steps:
1. Make sure to clean out the bottle and scrub the label off.
2. Cut a piece of paper slightly larger than you want your label to be.
3. Soak the clip of paper in the coffee until it turns the color of parchment.
4. Remove the paper and put it on the plate. (When doing this, be careful not to rip the paper!)
5. Blow dry it or let it air dry.
6. Once its dry write the name of a potion on it. (e.x. Liquid luck, Polyjuice Potion etc.)
7. Get an adult to slightly burn the edges of the label.
8. Glue the label onto the bottle.
9. Get an adult to light the candle and turn it upside down over your chosen area on the bottle.
10. As soon as enough wax has dripped onto the bottle, press the stamp into the wax for around thirty seconds.
11. Clean up the mess!

For the walls:
What I'm considering doing is painting each of the walls for a different house.
I might also put some harry potter quotes of them.
