If someone ever made me choose between Doctor Who and Harry Potter, I don’t think I could do it. I have a deep love for both and since I have long been known for my awesome Doctor Who Christmas Tree, I decided this year was the year to add a Harry Potter tree to the mix. I have been creating up a storm and I can’t wait to share all of the amazing Harry Potter ornaments that I have come up with, today I am sharing four different ways to make amazing ornaments with just an ornament and a copy of Harry Potter.
Book Page Harry Potter Ornaments
I love picking up copies of Harry Potter when I am at thrift stores, I know that I can always find a fun craft for them, so head to your local thrift store and look for a cheap copy, any of the books will work for these projects.
You will need:
- a glass ornament
- a copy of Harry Potter
- scissors
- mod podge
- glitter
Remove pages of Harry Potter at the binding. Cut strips of text about two lines wide, any wider than that and they don’t stick to the ornament as well. Use a foam brush to brush Mod Podge on the back of each strip of text wrap the strip around the ornament and repeat over and over again until the entire ornament is covered in paper strips.
Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge on top of the entire ornament. Shake a small amount of glitter on the ornament while the Mod Podge is still wet. Allow the ornament to dry completely and then add a ornament hanger and add to your tree!

Go through your copy of Harry Potter and find some of your favorite quotes. Pull the pages out of the book and trim off the excess around the quote. I wanted the quote on the front of page to stand out so I cut black paper about a half inch bigger than the quote on each side. Use rubber cement to adhere the quote to the the black paper. After it is dry, run all of the quote through the laminator. Trim off the excess lamination and punch a hole in the top of each quote. Thread black ribbon through and tie a loop to hang on your Christmas tree.

I adore the idea of the quotes on the tree. I know you have it Harry Potter themed, but I kinda am digging it just for fabulous quotes in general. Totally going to start this tradition…a new quote each year.
I am in love with this DIY!! I mean, anything to do with Harry Potter is basically awesome, right? These are so cute!
These are so cute! My sister in law LOVES Harry Potter, so I am sending this to her now!
As a self-proclaimed Harry Potter addict, I LOVE this idea and I think it's so ridiculously cute. I am bookmarking this for the end of time. So fun! xx Adaleta Avdic
As a complete book fanatic, I am all about the book quotes for the tree. Fantastic idea and one that is so easy to do.
I absolutely love this DIY idea. I am not much a of DIY person but I would absolutely make these ornaments.
Those square ornaments are so cute and unique! I love the idea of putting words on the outside!
Oh I love these ideas! I have been wondering where to get my own babbles so this is awesome!
Well anything that is Harry Potter related always has my vote. I love the square ornaments and the fantastic quotes
I am a huge Harry Potter fan!! These are terrific ideas, but I'd have to find a copy of the books at the thrift store or a garage sale…I could never cut up my own books. They are near and dear to my heart.
This is a great idea! I was just thinking of making a Harry Potter decoration for Christmas this year. I just have to find that old paperback edition, as I wouldn't want to hurt my hardbacks.
I love Harry Potter! I have so many doubles of the books that I could totally do this.
I really like the idea of making your own ornaments. I could see an entire covered in Harry Potter themed ornaments. It's also a great way to make memories with your kids and start a new tradition.
It was a goal of mine to make one or two handmade ornaments every year as keepsakes. I should try doing books! Very cute idea.
I wont lie I am not a Harry Potter fan at all but I know many who are. I hope they would be ok with ripping up a copy of their book to make this, and if they are willing this is a great idea.
I know it's crazy but I've never read the Harry Potter books…can't believe I'm admitting that! But regardless these would be great projects to create a book themed tree for any book!
I just read Harry Potter to my boys and they would love these ornaments. Such a great idea because they are little old for normal crafts but they would love these.
Those look really nostalgic to me. I could imagine ornaments like that being hung on Christmas trees in the 1920s. I don't know if they really did or not, but I am just imagining it being so. I like these ornaments a lot.
These are cool. My cousin is really into Harry Potter so I will have to send her this post. I'm sure she would love it.
What a fun DIY! I love this idea for an ornament exchange or white elephant party!
This is very creative, I like it. Although I don't know if I'd be able to cut a Harry Potter book
Oh boy this will be a hit for Harry Potter lovers! You can find books cheap at like consignment sales or garage sales to do this!
Wow! This is amazing. I never even thought of creating something like this. My siblings are going to lo
We are HUGE HP fans in my house and I am ashamed to admit we currently don't have any HP themed ornaments on our tree!! Well that changes THIS YEAR!! This is such a great, easy tutorial and I can't wait to make my own Harry Potter ornament soon!
I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and this would be so fun! My kids and I just started reading the first book together and they really like it! I bet they would love these!
I LOVE HARRY POTTER! This would be amazing for some of my friends that adore it as much as i do. It sounds like an easy thing to do and perfect.
Omg how cute are these ornaments?!?! I know several Harry Potter fans who would love to make these
I have so much Mod Podge that I need to start using it before (does it go bad?). I really like the glass ornaments, I think they are very pretty.
This is such a cute idea. I have a lot of friends who are Harry Potter obsessed so I will have to pass this tutorial along.
These are awesome! I love this idea for old books since they stay with you forever.
These Harry Potter ornaments are so creative. I know a few people who are Harry Potter fans who would really get a kick out of getting these as a gift.
