These Harry Potter Inspired Wizard Wands turned out perfect…I think I might have to make several more since I do have 14 Grandlittle ones and I have created only three Wizard Wands so far…

These are incredibly simple to create and each one is unique. You can make these from a variety of items for the base… I used a Dowel Rod, Pencils and Skewers.

Step One:

Using a glue gun glue two pencils or Skewers together to get the desired length for your wand. With a Dowel Rod simply cut it to desired length.

Step Two:

Place wooden bead over the seam and glue in place. Run a line of glue around the top and bottom of the bead.

Step Three:

Determine what other beads you want to add to your wand.

Step Four:

Glue the beads onto the wand as desired.

Step Five:

Add designs to the base of the wand with the glue gun. Create circle, lines, dots, zigzags, etc.

Step Six:

Place the wand into a Styrofoam ball to let dry. When the hot glue goes from clear to white it is dry.

Step Seven:

Paint the wands with a base coat of black paint. Let dry.

Step Eight:

Add a coat or two of Iridescents in Onyx or Bronze to add magical shimmer and shine. Let dry.

As I said the process of making these is easy and the results for each are unique…for these Harry Potter Inspired Wizard Wands!
