Are you planning to go wait in line at a bookstore the night PHOENIX
is released? Want to wear something a little more special than your
usual uniform of jeans and tee shirt--but a robe will possibly be too
hot, bulky or just too hard to get from the tailors/cleaners/dungeon
by then?
Then try looking for this quick'n'easy product at local craft store
(perhaps in USA, Michael's or Joann's chains), or order online from
www.homesew.com
Under "Paint and Markers" catagory at the latter, look for Tulip
brand SPARKLE SPRAY (to quote their blurb): "Temporarily turn
ordinary clothing and accessories into sparkling fashions! It's
quick and easy. Just spray your garment with the sparkle spray, then
wear it to your special event When it's over, just toss the garment
in the water and wash out the glitter.
Spray is formulated for use on most machine washable fabrics,
including cottons, poly/cottons, fleece, knit, denim, canvas and
synthetics". In a 4 oz. pump spray bottle. In crystal, gold or
silver. $4.95 Photo shows purple tee shirt that looks pretty good.
It's not aerosol, but it's probably wise not to spray it on around an
open flame.
Also at www.homesew.com is little kit for kids called the "Mystic
Bead Book" (see "Jewelry" catagory) for making a bracelet using
little charms in shape of wizarding objects: wizard hat, cat, wand,
owl, cauldron labeled potions, broom, head of smiling dragon (or Loch
Ness monster?) and book labeled "magic" (don't tell me that product
pre-dates HP books!). Priced at only $4.95
By the way, if you are into more elaborate crafts and costuming, did
you know there's a Yahoo group apparently affiliated with HPFGU (I
found it in old Announcements) called Madame Malkins.
If someone wants to copy this post over there, you're welcome (I
don't know how, I'm a computer newbie...) There's also an HP Knit
forum; maybe later in the summer I can post a few ideas & recommended
books there.
Til later,
ARANITA
