I first went to post office and got a if it fits it ships box. Then I went to Joann's and got scrapbook paper in yellow, maroon, blue, green, silver, bronze and black. I cut one color for each house to fit the flap, then I cut the complimentary color in strips to go over the first piece to give allusion of stripes. We love Gryfinnidor and Slytherin the best so we made those the big flaps. We used glue sticks to stick paper onto flaps.
I went to goggle images and found the house emblems. I copied and printed then cut around the emblem. I mounted them on left over paper. I used packaging tape to tape emblems on flaps. Here is link hp-badge.jpg.
Next I copied Dumbledores quotes and cut them out and mounted them on leftover paper. I taped them on with packaging tape. Here is the dumbledore quotes link harry-potterish.jpg
I got the stuff for inside packages. I bought the chocolate frog and Harry Potter talking ornament from Hallmark store. I bought carmel apple pops for sugar quill lollipops, Sour gummy worms for jelly slugs, peppermint altoids for pepper imps, snitch truffles are the lindor carmel truffles, cockroach lusters are giradel garlic rye chips(Taylor's favorite) and Treacle tarts are dark chcolate covered Acai berries. I made homemade pumpkin bread for pumpkin pasties . You can substitute other things for the treats. I used brown lunch bag and glued the labels on and tied raffia around the top then cut off extra bag at top. Here is treat label link Download Candy Labels Here.
And here is the second set of labels link here.
I typed up a message saying Taylor has been sorted and placed in the house of Lousiville, Kentucky Mission. I glued that on flap nest to gryffindor. Then I typed I solemnly swear Taylor is up to much good! Then Mission Managed! Those are quotes from the books with personal changes. I glued that on Slytherin Flap because of mischief.
Then I wrote a letter telling her how much I love her. I said PS this is opposite of a howler. I rolled it up and tied with raffia and wrote a tag that said howler for Sister Patterson.
I wrote on outside of box miscellaneous qoutes from movie in sharpie.
