Wizard Mandala to color

July 31, 1980, James and Lily Potter had a little boy. James Potter's best friend Sirius Black was named godfather of young Harry.

July 31, 1965 was when J.K. Rowling was born, and I'm sure nobody ever expected at the time she would write a series of books that would get kids and parents around the country reading together, going to midnight parties to celebrate the release of those books, and just generally breaking all sorts of records and creating history. But she did.

I hope you enjoy this mandala that I drew to celebrate, a wizardly mandala with a wand and hat. Click the images below for larger mandalas to color.

Happy Pi Day!

I love Pi! It's something that get used frequently by crafters and seamstresses.

Like cone hats- one of the easiest ways to make a cone hat that fits the person wearing it is to make it from a quarter circle. For that, you measure the circumference of your head, multiply that number by 4, divide by pi then divide by 2 for the radius of a quarter circle that will fit your head.

So now you can make your cone with newspaper or on fabric easily, adding a half inch to each side for a seam allowance or overlap.

Adding a brim for witch hat is measuring the circumference of your head and dividing by pi for the inner circle radius, then for the outer circle, add the number of inches you want the brim to be to the radius.

A couple of years ago I posted a PDF template for cutting the waist of circle skirts. You can find that here.
