Sierra and I are planning our annual Harry Potter party and I realized that this blog just wouldn't be the same without our traditional Harry Potter goodness during the month of October. October has become our official way of showing our nerdy Harry Potter love in full force. Stay tuned throughout October for some fun HP posts. I promise you won't regret it.
And while you're at it, check out some of our other HP posts:
And to start off this month right, I give you DIY Harry Potter Wands (made out of chopsticks!!. The best part is that they are cheap, easy and really awesome. My hubby and I already made two wands for ourselves [see HERE], but I had to make two more this year for the rest of the fam. Captain Awesome is obsessed with his and has mastered the spell "Stupify!"
DIY Harry Potter Wands
We love Harry Potter and this is one of my favorite Harry Potter crafts.
Supplies:
hot glue gun
paint
Step 1: Add glue to chopstick
Get your glue gun and at the thicker end of the chopstick, start carefully glueing in a snake like pattern around the stick. Then at the top add your bead (this will add some cool and unique dimension to the wand). To secure the bead, glue on top and all around the bead.
Step 2: Paint
Let your glue dry completely then paint whatever color you like. After that dries you can coat it with modge podge for a shinier look. And you're done.
Now go ahead and put it in a box with this fun label. Found HERE
Happy Harry Potter Wand Making!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! Harry Potter is just pure fun and a great way to get into the Halloween spirit
DeleteYou come up with such creative ideas, Havalah! I have to be honest....I've never read a single Harry Potter book. But I love how you were able to come up with a perfect craft for a Harry Pottery party!
ReplyDeleteWell Jamie, its never too late to read them. They are so fun and each book is better than the last.
DeleteThe Potterhead inside of me is loving this. My sister made a wand over the summer, and I think the method she used was very similar to yours. Gah, I need to make one for myself now!
