Harry Potter Wand Tutorial

You can't be a Wizard without a wand.
So, for our Harry Potter Mystery Dinner Party I made a bunch of wands for out Olivander's Wand Shop. This way, the guests could get a wand if they didn't come with their own.

Plus a whole bunch of hot glue!  Then I just painted them up and let them dry.
There was very little rhyme or reason, I just did whatever looked fun as I worked.
