Harry Potter free paper props - all movies and more!

:lolYea I'm on a worn book phase haha. I really want to make a "Dark Arts Defense Basics for Beginners book" ever since I saw that high rez photo posted a while ago..but finding a suitable hardcover might be harder for that one because of the specific magenta fabric spine its got...

Vossart, It was made the same way as my potions book; the image was printed on printmaking paper via inkjet, and then spray mounted onto a pre-existing book cover! (which I removed the pages from and will likely rebind someday in the future..) Then sanded with sandpaper, and touched up with foil and acrylic/acrylic medium.

woozelmom, the brand is just called "Liquid Leaf", I used the brass color as their gold is actually kind of reddish looking. I got it from Michael's, the craftstore!

Collector, those labels look really awesome! I agree, that Wizarding book is a wealth of awesomeness and full of references. Really one of the best film design books i've seen.
 
Hi E,
Thanks so much, I will have to pick some up and start experimenting with it. I think I can use it for quite a few projects I have in mind :)
 
Woozelmom, you're welcome! Just to let you know the stuff smells really strong, so it's good to have the cap on while you are not dipping into it!
 
I'm so embarrassed asking this; but could someone dumb it down to me on how I can make this to size where I can properly print the book covers?

I'm so sorry about this question and I'm going to kick myself when someone tells me, but any help would be awesome!

Well, I don't know how others do it (I am hoping to learn something myself from other replies that you get :)) but, I have a program on my computer called "Picture It" I will save an image on my computer and then open it with my "Picture It" program. I will crop the image, clean it up if I need to and then resize it. I choose the option to "Change Size" and then put in the size I need it to be. When I print it out I choose "Custom Size" and the size I had selected will be there and I print.
I would assume that the steps would be different with the program that you have to use.
Does anyone else have any suggestions??
 
@AGreenerScene, no problem at all, you need to use photoshop (or similar) and make a different layer for each part of the book (front, spine, and back) and then resize each piece to the book you are using. If you do not have a program that can do this I would be happy to help :)
 
@Hinky or bfd, I am working on Lockhart's "A year with the yeti" book cover, however, as mah skillz are not quite up to par, could I send one of you a PSD with everything I can do, done, and then you finish? Do a joint project?
 
woozelmom & lukeforester1...

I have GIMP and everything you both said should sound simple, but jet lag has turned my brain into mush! I just got back from London not even five hours ago...
lukeforester1, thank you for the offer! If I continue to stare at GIMP for another hour, I might just have to take you up on it.

Thank you both!
