How To Make A Miniature and Regular Sized Ornament

How to make a miniature Harry Potter miniature and a Regular sized winged keys

Picture from here
So this year I have two trees to decorate. One is a dollhouse sized on and the other one is regular sized. So I thought why not make them the same?  After that I thought why not make them fandom inspired? I decided to have the first one be Harry Potter themed. The keys were from the first book/movie. 🙂
First, I bought keys from my local Joann Fabrics. 
I made sure that the keys for the miniature one were tiny. The regular sized one can be any size, but I bought large ones. 
I painted them gold. Then I wiped the paint off because I wanted the keys to have a rustic feel.
From there I grabbed a piece of tooling leather and drew wings. I wet the leather but did not cut the piece out so it did not stretch. 
I cut the wing design I wanted with my exacto knife. I didn’t cut all of the way through the leather, just the first layer.
 Using my stylus I pushed, outlined and made impressions into the leather until I was happy.

I cut it out. I also wet the wings again so that I could ‘sculpt’ them into the shape I wanted them to be.
 Then I painted it white, and then glued the key to the wings.
Done! Add a piece of wire and they can be stuck onto a tree. 🙂
