Hermione's Beaded Handbag

"When you say you've got the Cloak, and clothes..." said Harry, frowning at Hermione, who was carrying nothing except her small beaded handbag, in which she was now rummaging. "Yes, they're here," said Hermione, and to Harry and Ron's utter astonishment, she pulled out a pair of jeans, a sweatshirt, some maroon socks, and finally the silvery Invisibility Cloak. "How the ruddy hell - ?" "Undetectable Extension Charm," said Hermione. "Tricky, but I think I've done it okay; anyway, I managed to fit everything we need in here." (excerpt from Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, p.162)

Hermione's handbag was an excellent survival kit for she, Ron & Harry when they were on the run! In this swap, we will be re-creating Hermione's Handbag. This handbag (about 5" by 8") may be store-bought, though preferably handmade & beaded. Then it will be filled with three or more items (that can fit inside the handbag - meaning if you want to make a tent, clothes, etc. you can make miniatures to fit inside the bag) of the essentials needed for our heroes on the run! The contents that can be included are:

*Tent *Clothes *Shoes *Books *Invisiblity cloak *Mauraders map *Wand *Phineas Nigellus painting *Horcruxes *Broom *Daily prophet *Food *Candy *Polyjuice potion *Robes *Decoy detonators *Puking pastilles *Nosebleed nougat *Extendable ears *Coins (galleon,sickles..) *Dittany (brown bottle) *Firewhiskey *Butterbeer *D.A. Coin *Rucksacks *Harrys snitch *Mad Eye Moody's eye *Tales of needle the bard *Spellmans syllabary *Harry's Photo album from Hagrid (These are all items that I found they had while scanning through the book, if there are any other items that Hermione stuffed in her handbag, you can include those as well.)

Again, you only have to include three of these items inside the handbag, but the more love put into this the better! I do ask that you put a fair amount of effort into this swap. Make sure you send something that you would want to receive! That being said, I'm giving participants two months to put this project together! Hopefully, everyone will enjoy taking this with them to the movie in November!

As far as a dollar amount goes, $10-$20 before postage.

Open to all Harry Potter Fans World Wide group members.
