Which Hogwarts house will you be in this back-to-school season? I think I'm a Ravenclaw girl...but maybe because I like those colors best. Make this layered iron-on vinyl bunting with the Hogwarts house crests as the perfect backdrop for a party or Harry Potter themed classroom.

Jack's Hogwarts House!

What house would you be in at Hogwarts before you went back to school? I think I'm a Ravenclaw girl... but maybe because I like those colors better. Make this metallic vinyl the perfect backdrop for a party or living room, like a Harry Potter theme with Hogwarts shelves.

his fabulous bunting/banner with the house crests is super simple to make! Yes, it requires a few specialized supplies...but the options are endless if you have a Cricut.

This amazing ring/flag is very easy to work with. Yes, it requires special equipment... but if you have a cricket , the options are endless.

Each crest is a Harry Potter licensed Cricut Design Space image that you can purchase. Even me, I bought every single Harry Potter design because I just love the ease of use. Each crest costs $1.99, or you can buy all the HP designs as a bundle.

Each paddle is a proprietary image of the Harry Potter Cruise Design. I also liked the ease of use so I bought all the Harry Potter designs. Each bike is $1.99 or you can purchase all HP models complete.

Step 1: Cut the metal

The magic of images is no less effortless or effortless. Measure samples only to desired size... My 7 inches is long. Mirror the image to cut the pattern in the opposite direction.

Step 1: Cutting the Iron-on The magic of the images, is that there is little or no effort involved. Just size the designs to the desired size...mine are 7 inches tall. Mirror the image so it cuts the design in reverse.

Press the Maker key and enter the metal. Place the metallic vinyl on the reflective surface of the carpet. Repeat the cutting process for each color. Cricut Design Space lets you know which color is next.

Click the Make button and insert the iron-on. Place the iron-on vinyl on the mat with the shiny/slick surface facing down. Repeat the cutting process for each color. Cricut Design Space will let you know which color comes next.

Then cut the vinyl as far as possible along the cut line to save the product.

Then trim down the vinyl as close as you can to the cut line to save product.

Then clean excess vinyl from cut patterns.

Then weed the excess vinyl from the cut out designs.

Repeat the same process for each layer. There are 3 layers for each crest.

Repeat this same process for each of the layers. There are 3 layers for each crest.

Collect them to see what they look like.

Stack them up together to see how they will look.

Step 2. You feel a sore throat

Then take 4 pieces of black fabric. These pieces measure 9x12 inches. Fold in half, placing the ruler on the bottom edge. Place it at a right angle and shim the wedge in the middle of the 1.5-inch slope.

Step 2: Black Felt Buntings Then get 4 pieces of black felt. These pieces measure 9x12 inches. Fold it in half and place the ruler at the bottom edge. Place it right on the open ended corners and angle the ruler up 1.5 inches to the folded center.

Then use a rotary cutter to cut off the bottom edge.

Then use a rotary cutter to cut the notch out of the bottom edge.

Repeat all 4 sets.

Felt is a great stiff surface for buntings and banners

Step 3 Remove EasyPress

Now place the folded scarf on the EasyPress mat and place the bottom layer of crepe...gray...on the mat.

Step 3: EasyPress Iron-on Now place the black felt bunting on the EasyPress mat and place the bottom layer of the crest...the gray one...on the bunting.

Then click on the first layer of EasyPress for 15 seconds. Pressure sensor temperature should be 280*

Then press with the EasyPress for just 15 seconds on the first layer. Pressing felt temperatures should be 280*

Let the metal cool, then discard the backing sheet.

Let the iron-on cool down and then peel off the carrier sheet.

Then add the next layer of scratch to the previously printed metal.

Then add the next layer of the crest on top of the previously pressed iron-on.

Press again for 15 seconds and let it cool down completely. (I go around each corner, I do the fourth, the first is cold).

Press again for 15 seconds and let it cool down completely. (I rotate through each crest and when I've done all 4, the first has cooled.)

As before, remove the storage paper and add the next layer of metal to the vinyl.

Same as before, remove the carrier sheet and add the next layer of iron on vinyl.

Press again for 15 seconds. 15 If it doesn't look sticky enough, make it a bit more... but we don't want to overheat each layer.

Press again for 15 seconds. If 15 doesn't feel like it's adhering enough, do it a little longer...but it's heating each layer repeatedly and we don't want to over do it.

The last layer is the name of the interface. Put the name in the appropriate place and use a piece of parchment paper from the previous layer to cover the entire article. You don't want the EasyPress to touch the metal directly.

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 metal to cool completely one last time.

Press for 30 seconds and then let the iron-on cool down completely for the last time.

Sounds good! This fun design will even look great on a t-shirt.

Don't they look great! These fun Harry Potter Hogwarts house crest designs would be awesome on a shirt too!

Now fold the ring from the top, sew it all together... or hot glue it on.

Now fold over the top edge of the bunting and sew it across...or hot glue it.

Then pass the string over the sloping edge. I asked how the tables were set up at Hogwarts... I went to Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Huffelfev and then Gryffindor.

Then thread the cording through the folded over edge. I looked up which order the tables are set up in Hogwarts...and it goes Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and then Gryffindor.

Add some brakes to the ends of the rope and hang.

Add some tassels on the ends of the cord and hang it up!

Ideal for large ballrooms. I like how easy it was to create, how amazing it was.

It's perfect for the Great banquet Hall! I love how easy it was to create and how amazing it turned out!

Take a look at this Hogwarts house flag I made a few years ago.

What house do you have? I think Huffelf is very forgotten. But it looks like a nice house.

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

Eight years ago, I read Harry Potter books with my older children. That means my 11 year old never heard the entire book. We decided it was a school year so he could turn in all the books. First we celebrate with Butterbeers and a Harry Potter Party . Congratulations grade 6.
