Supplies Needed to Make Harry Potter Wand Bag
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE HARRY POTTER WAND BAG
Step 1 – Prep your fabric
- Cut a piece of fabric for the front of the bag 16 ½” X 3”
- Cut a piece of felt fabric for the back of the bag 16 ½” X 3”
- Cut a piece of felt fabric for the back pocket 15 ½” X 3”
- Cut 2 pieces of fabric for the loops 2” X 1”
Step 2 – Create the Loops for Bottom of Bag
Fold the 2” X 1” fabric strips lengthwise with right sides together. Sew at ¼” seam allowance leaving bottom and tops open. Turn inside out, and iron so it makes a ribbon.
Step 3 – Sew a Casing for Top of Bag
- Cut a ¼” wide notch 1” from top of cotton fabric. Fold fabric down 1” inch and stitch to make a casing.
- Cut a ¼’ wide notch 1” from top of felt fabric. Fold fabric down 1” and stitch to make a casing.
Step 4 – Sew Bag & Ribbon Tabs
Take the ribbon pieces you made and fold in half. Position them at the bottom of the bag, on top of the cotton fabric, matching the raw edges.
Sew with right sides together, stopping at top notch you cut, where the casing is.
Turn right side out, pulling the ribbon ties to the outside.
Press to lay flat.
Step 5 – Add the Back Pocket to the Bag
- Fold top of pocket piece down 1” and stitch
- With right sides together, use overlock machine to stitch back pocket to the bag
- Turn right side out and press flat
Step 6 – Attach the Paracord
String paracord through front of bag, then through back of bag. Adjust string so that it is even on both sides.
Step 7 – Attach the Paracord Stopper
- String paracord through the cord stopper.
- Loop paracord through bottom ribbon loops, then back up through the cord stopper.
Step 8 – Tie & Finish Edge
Tie end of the cord into a knot to secure, and burn edge with a lighter to keep the cord from fraying.
