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.

Press for 30 seconds and allow the pan to cool completely one last time.

Which house do you belong in? I think Hufflepuff gets overlooked a lot. It seems like a cool house though.

I read the Harry Potter books with my kids 8 years ago. That means my 11 year old son has never heard the whole book. We decided it would be the end of the school year. For starters, we celebrated with Butter Beer and Harry Potter Party . Happy 6!
