RECYCLED CANDY CUBE QUIDDITCH MODEL

Do you have lots of empty Sugarfina candy cubes kicking around at home? Then this is the project for you! And do you love Quidditch, the sport played on broomsticks at Hogwarts? Combine, and make something that shows both!!!! #candy #quidditch #jk_rowling

That's right! Sugarfina cube (above) plus Quidditch pitch (below)!!!!!

Let's get started!! First you need... an empty Sugarfina candy cube, green paper, coloured clay in black, gold/yellow, white, brown, green and burgundy/maroon, jump rings or wire, white or silver string, scissors, and tape!

STEP 1. Remove the label from the candy cube.

STEP 2. Clean the cube with soap and water.

STEP 3. Cut a square of green paper that's a bit smaller than the base of the cube.

STEP 4. (this step can be done later) Slide the green paper into the base.

STEP 5. Make the balls. (red sphere with hand dents for Quaffle, 2 smaller black spheres for Bludgers, and tiny yellow/gold sphere with tiny white cones for the Golden Snitch.) Add tiny jump rings to the tops of all the balls.

STEP 6. If you need to bake the clay, do so now. When they're done, let them cool.

STEP 7. Loop and tie the string through the jump rings in the balls and cut it at varying lengths.

STEP 8. Get the lid of the box and tape the balls to the lid.

STEP 9. Make the 7 Quidditch players on broomsticks in robes in the colours of your choice.

STEP 10. Attach the jump rings and repeat steps 6-8 but with the players.

STEP 11. If you attached the green grass-paper at step 4, this will be a little harder. make 3 tiny balls of clay and stick jump rings through them. These are the Quaffle hoops.*

STEP 12. Close the lid of the box and you're done!!!!

*If you're wondering why the hoops are so tiny, the main focus is on the balls and players.
