By request from the LOVELY *ravekitten
I present to you a condensed item list for my HP Howler tutorial!

Items Needed:
8-10 pieces of 24 gauge floral wire (or similar wire) about 18 inches in length each
One foot of stiff bow-making ribbon
One foot of "nice" ribbon (silky)
(MOST of these items can most likely be obtained from your local florist or floral shop for little to no cost! Don't forget- Ask nicely and thank them.)

About one yard of butcher paper or cheap large paper
One sheet of 30 1/2 inch by 20 1/2 inch sheet of nice rag (or cloth-based paper) POSSIBLY two- ANY color you like!
One 6 inch by 12 inch piece and Two 6 inch by 1 1/2 inch strips of slightly stiff white or off-white (your preference) paper

Scotch Tape
Glue (preferrably liquid Elmer's school)
Scissors or Utility Knife
A marker or calligraphy pen
Sticky mailing label (optional)

The nice rag paper was the most expensive thing in this entire project- about $5-6! If you think you might make mistakes, get a little more than you need, you can always use the leftovers for something fun later! I tore up pieces of my papers and put them in a little baggie, so when I was done with my "skit", the pieces could be thrown in the air as my exit. (In The Chamber of Secrets, the Howler finished it's message then "bit" itself up to pieces.)

As before, if you complete one- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me pics?! I want to compile a little collection of my Howler-friends to put in my Harry Potter photo album! ^_______^

I really want to try this, but am having a hard time finding the red rag 100% cotton paper. The Creative Papers Online site doesn't seem to have red in their solid cotton colors. Has anybody had luck finding it and/or has anyone tried using red cotton fabric instead? Do you think that would work? Thanks for any advice you can give!

Uhhh... I don't know a lot about cotton paper... I just picked the nicest paper I could find that was the right shade. I don't think I got the red at an online site because it was the most important paper. A high-end art supply store should have some good paper. (Also, sorry this is SOOOO late! I never really come on this site anymore... ^~^ )

Have you thought about doing a video tutorial, or a photo tutorial of each step? I found these directions to be confusing =(

Unfortunately, I didn't think of it at the time and I am unable to make another one with photos, as I am in an intensive college program for the next 2 and 1/2 years. I apologize about the directions, but if you have specific questions, just send them my way and I will try to answer them as best as I can!

You can take the sound box out of one of those singing birthday cards (one of the ones that lets you record your own message), and you can record whatever you want your howler to say, then glue it on the inside under the white paper in the center of the mouth, and glue the one end of the tongue (the red ribbon) to the little switch piece that triggers the sound to play (the piece that's usually attached to the flap of the card so when you open it it plays) and if you pull the ribbon a little bit, it'll play the sound! :)
