So here is another halloween project I got interested in... making magic wands.
The actual process is so easy its scary.
Materials:
Hot Glue Gun with glue
8 1/2''x11 1/2" white paper 2-3 sheets
glue stick
Acrylic paint
Misc: other items can be used from string, cord, small gems, tiny skull heads and etc...
First: roll the paper nice and tight... then unroll it... Take the other end of the rolled paper and secure with something heavy so it doesn't roll back on you. Take your glue stick and rub it on the rolled paper and begin to roll it so the glue is being rolled over the paper (on the inside). Make sure the roll is tight on not unraveling.
Second: From the other paper cut a strip (longwise) as big as your hand from pinky to index. Roll the strip like you rolled the wand. Now same process as before, use your glue stick to wrap the strip around the bottom of the wand to make your handle.
Third: Once dried cut both ends of the wand. Take the hot glue and shot hot glue down both ends of the wands holes to add strength. On the outside of the wand make a design with hot glue. Do the top, bottom or middle (whatever you feel like doing)
Fourth; Now time for painting...be creative in this process... it makes wand more personal and creative!!!
Here are some examples...
My kids love their wands to play with..(and I like mine too).
Until next time....Spoon out!
