Instructions

    • 1

      Select the right piece of wood. The easiest thing to use is a stick that you can find anywhere, as long as it is sturdy enough not to break under easy pressure. If you have a smooth piece of wood lying around the house, then you can use this. Make sure the piece is between eight and twelve inches long. It will ultimately end up smaller then this, because you will be sanding it down.

      Use your knife to strip the bark off of your wood. You can also use your knife to whittle the stick a little and make a wand shape out of it. This will have an end that is slightly pointy, and a thick base.

      Sand down the wood to a relatively fine grain using your sandpaper. Sand the tip of your wand so that it is round. Use fine sandpaper to polish when you are finished. It should be smooth when you run your hand across it.

      Add extra materials if you want to make your wand more decorative. You can glue stones or rhinestones on the base of it, or burn a piece of it to make it look used. If you are burning it, make sure that you are outside and are being safe.

      Coat the wand with varnish, such as a cherry varnish, to give it a stylish look. Wait for it to dry and you have a ready-made Harry Potter wand.
