How to make a posable Pickett the Bowtruckle

March 9, 2020 by Stefanie Girard

Now this little guy is cute and I didn’t even know who he was. If you do then I bet you think he’s pretty cool and if you don’t wouldn’t it be fun to have a little cute posable plant that you can give your own name to. pop on over to the blog Xristi Witch to see the full tutorial on how to make posable Pickett the Bowtruckle and some more cute pictures.

Bowtruckle Items you can buy on Amazon

Pickett the Bowtruckle is a beloved character from the Harry Potter series. He is a tiny stick-like creature that lives in trees, and is often seen in the company of Newt Scamander.

Pickett uses his long twig-like fingers to guard the trees and protect the creatures living in them. Despite his small size, Pickett is brave and feisty, often standing up to far bigger foes like the infamous Gellert Grindelwald. He is also loyal and devoted to Newt, often accompanying him on his adventures.

Pickett is a fan favorite, and the very embodiment of courage and loyalty. He is a perfect example of the power of friendship, and a reminder that even the smallest of creatures can have a big impact. Pickett is a beloved character that will no doubt live on in the hearts of Potter fans for many years to come.

Come On Baby, Start My Fire – DIY Firestarters

I stumbled across this brilliant little project the other day from one of my favorite upcycling bloggers, Sadie Seasongoods, and I had to share it. 

The firestarters Sadie makes are crafted from dryer lint, wax, and the cardboard bottoms of egg cartons. She even pretties them up with some dried herbs and flower petals, which honestly takes them from “I made this in my garage” to “Pinterest Queen Energy.” What I love most is how simple and budget-friendly they are. I mean, who doesn’t have dryer lint, an old candle stub, and a toilet roll lying around?

She walks you through the whole process with her usual clear instructions the end result looks more like a rustic gift item than something you’d toss into a fire pit. It’s the perfect kind of project for anyone who likes camping, cozy backyard firepits, or even just prepping for winter in a crafty way.

Other DIY Firestarter Ideas I’ve Tried (and Loved)

Feeling inspired by Sadie’s creativity, I thought I’d toss in a few of my own favorite DIY firestarter methods—because once you make one, you kinda want to try them all!

Pine Cones Dipped in Wax

This one’s a holiday fave. Gather some pine cones, melt some candle wax (crayons work too!), and dip them until they have a nice coating. You can even add a few drops of essential oils for a nice scent as they burn.

Cork Firestarters

Soak used wine corks in rubbing alcohol for about a week. Keep them in a tightly sealed jar and pull one out when needed. They light up like magic (just be safe—these burn hot and fast!).

Orange Peel Twists

Let orange peels dry and twist them into spirals. They’re flammable and naturally full of oils that help them catch easily. Plus, they smell amazing when burned!

Paper Muffin Liners + Wax + Sawdust

Pour melted wax into muffin liners filled with sawdust (or wood shavings, or even coffee grounds). Let them cool, and you’ve got sturdy little fire cakes ready to go.
