How to make a magic wand

What you need:

a pencil if you are making pencil chopsticks or chopsticks for a pair of chopsticks want
Hot glue gun (adults only) or low temperature glue gun
a large plastic bead (or rock, polymer clay, seashells – the more materials your child can choose from, the better)
four small plastic beads (or pebbles, gems…)
silver acrylic and another acrylic color of your choice (we used blue for this project)

Step by Step Instructions for Making a Wand

Apply a little glue to the tip of the pencil and attach a large plastic bead (or whatever material you choose).

You have to work quickly before the glue cools.

Press the bead (or other object) firmly, wait a few seconds for the glue to dry.

Seal the seed with hot glue (see image below).

While the glue is still hot, place four round beads on top of the glue.

Wait for the glue to cool.

Use glue to form a circle around the bottom of the pencil…

…and then spiral up.

Let dry.

Coat pencil and beads with blue acrylic paint.

Let’s paint.

Coat the pencil with silver acrylic, some of the blue underneath can still be seen.

Let dry for a while.

Done! You have your magic wand!

You can turn a friend into a frog if you want. Just say “Hey friend, hey friend, I wish you would become a frog, PUUM, POM”.

Now have fun and cast spells on everyone.

Hope you enjoy this project and remember to keep your magic wand in a safe place where no one knows about it but you.

These days, it seems like everyone wants one.

Happy crafting!
