Make a pointed, cone shaped wizard hat out of either construction paper or poster board, depending on how large you'd like your hat. Black works well for a wizard hat, but dark purple or blue are good magical colors as well. Curve the paper into a cone shape until the end is pointed. Tape the hat together.

Cut stars out of foil to decorate the hat with. Use tape to attach the stars to the hat. Secure the hat on your head with bobby pins.

Dust a little baby powder in your hair to make you look older and grayer, and draw some wrinkles on with black eyeliner.

Slip on a robe and tie it with a silver or gold rope that can be purchased at a craft or hobby store in the fabric department.

Purchase a wand or make your own by using a wooden dowel that you have painted with silver craft paint. Alternately, you can use the dowel as a staff instead of a wand.
