Harry Potter season is upon us once again and it’s time to accessorize. If you’re like me, you might be looking to do it on the cheap. Want to learn how to make a Harry Potter wand for under $1? I thought so… The best part of this project is that you probably already have most of the items around your house! Supplies: Wooden dowel Sander Hot glue/Glue gun Paint Glitter I purchased... 

Check. it. out. That is one brightly colored cake! And today, I am going to share how to make it… This post is long overdue.  I first started thinking about birthday plans at the end of February when I completed my birthday wreath (which remains one of my most popular posts).
