Made them from canvas cloth lying around. I had Karissa layout the house trait over the house seal and had it printed over the paper I aged with coffee then glued it on the canvas.
Sewed on about a foot of black ribbon on the top part of the scroll so it can be rolled up for transport. :)
I have a bit of experience with bookbinding so compared to making it from scratch, this was a breeze. Plus! I have all those college textbooks(and a dictionary) lying around. So, rather than throwing them away, why not putting them to good wizard use.
I researched a bit about books used by Harry Potter then matched it with the books: Book of Spells (English Dictionary), Numerology (College Algebra), and Magical Theory (English and Grammar).
Got some embossing textile paint and scribbled the titles on the spines. For the numerology book, I braided some cord and stuck it on the cover then penned on some silver.
By the way, the cover colors were painted on since I still have a whole lot of canvas cloth(I stopped oil painting last year). Sanded them after they dried to have that distressed look.
