Here are the steps to make the wizard wands that I made for our Harry Potter birthday party.

Shopping list

Chop sticks or small dowels

Beads

Wrapping wire

Wire cutters

Glue gun

Hot glue

Paint

Glitter

Elmer’s glue

Sealing spray

Yarn

Scissors

Printer

Steps:

I bought everything I needed at Walmart. Here are the products I chose:

First I used wire to attach wooden beads to the sticks in different ways. Some I just did one on top, some I attached a big one on top and small ones on the sides, a few I left with no beads.

Next, I got out glue guns and a lot of glue sticks. I used two glue guns and alternated so I wouldn’t get slowed down waiting for glue sticks to melt.

I covered the wire with glue, added dots, lines, and swirls, and gave them general depth.

Then, I painted them with Acrylic paint.

After they were completely dry, I brushed glue where I wanted glitter and sprinkler on glitter.

Last, when they were dry again, I sprayed then with Krylon Matte Finish. Use glossy finish if you like, it will work the same. It just needs a layer to seal the glitter and paint so it doesn’t shed or rub off.

As a finishing touch, I printed out Olivander labels from here and attached with them crochet thread.
