The magic of the images, is that there is little or no effort involved. 


Just size the house emblems design to the desired size...mine are 7 inches tall.


Mirror the image so it cuts the design in reverse.

Step 2: Black Felt Buntings

These pieces measure 9x12 inches. 


Fold it in half and place the ruler at the bottom edge.

Felt is a great stiff surface for buntings and banners

Step 3: EasyPress Iron-on


Now place the black felt bunting on the EasyPress mat and place the bottom layer of the crest...the gray one...on the bunting.


Step 3: EasyPress Iron-on Now place the black felt bunting on the EasyPress mat and place the bottom layer of the crest...the gray one...on the bunting.

Then press with the EasyPress for just 15 seconds on the first layer. 


Pressing felt temperatures should be 280*.

Press again for 15 seconds. 


If 15 doesn't feel like it's adhering enough, do it a little longer...but it's heating each layer repeatedly and we don't want to over do it.


Press again for 15 seconds. If 15 doesn't feel like it's adhering enough, do it a little longer...but it's heating each layer repeatedly and we don't want to over do it.

Final layer is the name of the crest. 


Place the name on the proper space and use a carrier sheet from a previous layer to cover the entire thing. 


You don't want the EasyPress to touch the iron-on directly.

Then thread the cording through the folded over edge. I looked up which order the tables are set up in Hogwarts...and it goes Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and then Gryffindor.

Add some tassels on the ends of the cord and hang it up with command hooks and strips.


If you are reading the Harry Potter series which book is your favorite? I love the first book, because it was a little bit like falling in love.

I think Hufflepuff gets overlooked a lot. It seems like a cool house though.

I read the Harry Potter books with my oldest kids about 10 years ago. 


That means my baby, who is now 13, has never actually heard or read the full books. 


We decided that this is the homeschool year for him to get through all the books. 


We are going to celebrate with Butter Beers and a Harry Potter Party to kick it off...and pretend we are at the Wizarding World.


I read the Harry Potter books with my oldest kids about 8 years ago. That means my baby, who is now 11, has never actually heard or read the full books. We decided that this is the homeschool year for him to get through all the books. We are going to celebrate with Butter Beers and a Harry Potter Party to kick it off. Happy 6th grade!

Making a Fantastic Beasts party with a glorified cake mix, balloons, floating candles and other wizarding world crafts would be amazing.


What is back-to-school looking like for you? Distance learning, homeschool or back to school?

That's it!


Making a fun Hogwarts house bunting or banner with flags is an easy craft DIY using the Cricut and a heat press.


I love using iron-on vinyl and the details and intricate finish you can achieve with it.


Decorate your classroom for the new school year and remind everyone of the magic of reading the series for the first time, celebrate with a Harry Potter themed party for Harry Potter fans or a little boy or little girl, or make a bunch of Hogwarts themed crafts just for fun!
