This is how they started:
Add hot glue and decorate with beads if desired.
Let cool completely - doesn't take all that long. Add paint. I used browns then lightly brushed gold on them so they look oldish. Seal with mod podge if you want to. I don't know if it's necessary, but I did.
Add ribbon if you want to. I thought they would be more fun to swish magic around if the ribbons were swishing too. :) I made 8 of them (the pics are not the same four).
Voila! Magic wands, Harry Potter style. Sorta. Well, maybe. Ok I've never seen Harry Potter or even read the books so I wouldn't know if they are or not! LOL But hey.....MAGIC! :)
Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful work! Love these!
ReplyDeleteThese are quite special and magical for sure! They remind me of carved walking sticks and do look like old wood. Cool project. Now you can watch the movies with the grands!

ReplyDeleteThis is waaaaayyyy too cool!!! This project looks like its loads of fun to make and the kids would be crazy happy to have their own "magic wand". I have a very large family with many kids, and this seems like a cool thing to make for them. Thank you sooo much for sharing. Really FAB IDEA!!! Hugz:) Taylor
