Decoré una caja mágica para mis libros de Harry Potter (ESP/ENG)

Hola mis queridos amigos de esta bellísima comunidad creativa, hace mucho tiempo que yo no subía contenido aquí, pero revisando algunas fotografías que tengo encontré una joya valiosa y es que yo conservo todo el proceso que realicé para crear un lindo espacio para poder almacenar mis libros de la saga Harry Potter, en primer lugar debo aclarar que este post no se trata de un tutorial para seguir paso a paso, simplemente pretendo mostrarles como cualquier objeto simple puede transformarse en algo hermoso y en este caso hasta mágico 😉, solo quiero que dejen volar su imaginación y que este post les sirva de inspiración.

Hello my dear friends of this beautiful creative community, it's been a long time since I uploaded content here, but reviewing some pictures I have I found a valuable jewel and I keep all the process I did to create a nice space to store my books of the Harry Potter saga, first of all I must clarify that this post is not a tutorial to follow step by step, I just want to show you how any simple object can be transformed into something beautiful and in this case even magical 😉, I just want you to let your imagination fly and that this post will inspire you.

I love recycling, you will always find me collecting plastic or cardboard wherever I find it because I can always get something good out of it, in this case I used an old cardboard box and newspaper, lots of newspaper. First I cut a circle out of cardboard and on top of that I modelled the Hogwarts sorting hat using newspaper and paste, I simply dipped the newspaper in paste to form a malleable paste.

Then, using sheets of cardboard that I had previously covered with paste to glue pieces of newspaper to, I created the spaces for the books, using the books themselves as a reference.

Then I started to paint all the work, I used dark brown for the hat and black for everything else, I wanted to use black to contrast with the gold colour I used inside.

Then I proceeded to draw the Hogwarts crest and the Harry Potter letters separately, respecting the typography of the original saga. This was the result, however it looked very opaque.

So on top I applied a layer of white pagamento mixed with water, this way I gave it a shiny look, on the back I drew the coats of arms of the four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, that gave it a special touch. I drew them separately, then painted them with acrylic paint, cut them out and glued them on.

On the side I also painted the logo of the saga with the initials of the boy wizard.

And ready, this was the result, finally I could have a space to keep the seven books of the saga, I used a piece of velcro as a closure, that way I can keep my books safe inside the box, what do you think?

I hope you liked my work and that you are encouraged to do something similar or the same, with a little imagination and materials that you can find even in the trash you can create beautiful things very useful. Thank you very much for your attention 😉
