Instructions
Ravenclaw house colors are debatable, due to differences between the books and movies. The traditional book colors for Ravenclaw are bronze and dark blue. In the movies, however, the bronze is replaced with gray or light blue.
Scarf
Make a Ravenclaw scarf, such as the Ravenclaw Scarf pattern available in about.com's DIY Fashion section, or one of Leaky Crafts' own knit or crochet versions.
Tie
Start out with a dark blue tie.
Use bronze, light blue, or gray fabric paint to add the lines on the tie.
If you're using paint and a brush, employ a ruler to help you make straight lines.
Make two thick lines, then skip an inch and make a very thin line. Skip another inch and repeat this pattern.
Robes
Make your own Ravenclaw Robe in any size using the How-To Ravenclaw Robes tutorial available in about.com's DIY Fashion section, or the Simple Canon Robes tutorial here on Leaky Crafts.
Spectrespecs
Luna
sometimes wears a wacky pair of Spectrespecs. In the movie, these
glasses allow her to see Harry while he's got on his invisibility
cloak. Make your own using the Spectrespecs tutorial on about.com in their DIY Fashion section, or Leaky Craft's own Spectrespecs tutorial.
Hair
Luna
sports a head of platinum blond hair. If you don't have the right hair
color, you'll need to spring for a cheap wig or even bleach your hair.
If
you have especially dark hair then it's going to be very difficult to
get such a white-yellow color with any kind of hair dye. I suggest
spending the ten bucks on a wig instead, because bleach can be very
hard on your hair.
Luna's hair is always a little messy. Rub a dot of gel on your fingers and run them through your hair to give it more texture.
Wand
Any
thin stick can be made into a wand. Peel off any bark and use a piece
of sandpaper to smooth down the sides of the stick. For a pointed end,
use a small knife to whittle the end of the stick. Shaving the end of
the stick should be done with adult supervision. Apply a dark or light
wood varnish to your smoothed wand.
You could also use about.com DIY Fashion's Easy Pencil Wand for kids, or one of the many wand tutorials available on Leaky Crafts in the Woodwork and Other Crafts sections, or spring for a toy Harry Potter wand.
School Uniform
Luna has a unique sense of style, to say the least. Try one of the tutorials available in Leaky Craft's jewelry section to make yourself a pair of Luna's radish earrings.
A white button-down shirt is needed, along with a black or gray sweater vest to wear over it.
Wear a black pencil skirt, knee-high socks and black dress shoes.
