Art supplies and links I used for my art, crafts and recipes:
1. Letter from Hogwarts: coffee toned paper (I used simple printer paper and chilled coffee for toning), golden acrylic maker to draw the Hogwarts emblem, craft paper envelope with Hogwarts emblem printed on top of it, a wax seal. I found free printable emblem of Hogwarts here https://www.nicepng.com/ourpic/u2q8i1i1q8t4y3w7_hogwarts-logo-png-image-free-download-hogwarts-crest/ I also used it as an reference while drawing the golden emblem on top of the letter.
2. Hand-crafted Herbology journal cover: hobby glue, tissue paper, a brush, acrylic paints in colours white, green and gold, dry flowers. The idea of the journal cover came to me while watching a video of one of my favourite creators @DarlingDesi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvqdBUimQSc&t=1135s I just added more floral elements for extra texture.
