Harry Potter Coins

Eric Scheske isn't a big Harry Potter fan, but his wife and oldest son, Alex, love the books (last count, Alex had read one of the books (stifle gag) eight times). So this is for them:

How to make your own Harry Potter coins:

You'll need Gold, silver and bronze Fimo, a rolling pin, small circular cookie cutters, some sort of alphabet rubber stamp set, mythical themed rubber stamps or charms (I found these in the scrapbooking section), black acylic paint and gold acylic paint.

-roll out the clay and cut out the sizes you want for your coins

-press the coin names and decorations

-bake according to package then let cool.

-do a wash of black on the silver and bronze coins and gold on the gold coins and wipe off excess paint so it only stays in the crevaces. This will give that aged look.
