Pro-tip: After you have filled the paper tube with hot-glue, you can hide the edges of the paper, make the wand more sturdy, and give it the appearance of wood by hot gluing the entirety of the outside of the wand, then using the nozzle to spread the glue from the handle down towards the shaft or vice-versa. This creates a striation effect that you can make super intense and rough, or smooth and woody. You can also paint on top of this, which means that you can further control the design of the wand. If you're really good with hot glue and have the patience, you can even manage the elder wand and it's shape with this trick.
Here's another way that doesn't require hot glue or chopsticks! 1. Go outside and find a nice, sturdy stick and snap it to how long you want it. 2. Come back inside and wash it thoroughly. 3. Grab a knife (or just use your hand and peel) and cut the bark off. 4. Get some sandpaper or a nail filer ( or continue using the knife) and scratch the stick to make it smooth and your desired shape. 5. Grab a piece of paper, cut it in half the long way and roll it up and glue it so it stays rolled up. 6. Wrap it around your stick in any design you want and glue it. 7. Paint it in anyway you like. 8. Enjoy!
I'm looking forward to Ravenclaw as well... And I just made my first wand today!!! Using the instructions this video described. I going to make a few more of them by my own design and then... Obtain the Ravenclaw robe and tie and Hogwarts... Here I come!!!
Adding more or less pressure on the glue gun helps control the thinness/thickness of the glue lines. That's how I made that wand. Also I suppose if you're quick enough, using a toothpick or bobby-pin to guide the glue on the wand before it sets can help you make unique designs.
It was a demonstration motion. The glue I used was clear then once it dried I painted over it with gold paint. Colored hot glue sticks do exist in stores and online - I suppose you could use those if you wanted to.
I'm not entirely sure but paper mache could work! You would have to work in layers and it would a few days to complete. First method: Add little bits of paper mache pieces into the cone and squish it down to make a solid layer, about one inch, then let it harden completely. After a layer is dry repeat the steps until the cone is filled. Second method: Fill the cone with crumpled pieces of paper or rolled up paper. Then wrap a layer of paper mache onto the outside of the cone (not inside the cone) and be sure to cover the cone opening too, let it harden completely (24 hours). Repeat the process of adding paper mache over the cone two more times (you can also cover the entire wand if you wish), letting each layer dry completely. This is to make sure the wand is sturdy enough. The wand design could also be completed with paper mache, layering bits as needed to create your desired look.
Hello! I watched the chopstick section of the tutorial, and I was wondering, can I use those school glue things you would usually see in elementary school art class? Edit: By the way, I only mean for the beginning part where you put a dot right above the chopstick center
Hello so i have a question Can my wand handle apparently be circular? I actually created a Half Dolores-Half Regular wand so basically if i can do that to my wand design how hard does it take to create? Thanks!
It's possible, requires patience/caution, and take maybe an hour or two to complete. If you intend the wand handle to be Dolores inspired, I wouldn't use an entire sheet of paper to roll the wand because I worry the circle handle would be too thick. I would stop maybe half way (4 rolls about), cut off the excess and tape or glue the paper down. Fill the cone with hot glue as best you can, then with the glue gun carefully lay rings of glue around the wand handle, let it set for a few seconds then keep layering until I have the desired roundness. With the residual heat of the glue gun, smooth out any imperfections. Once you're happy with the look, paint it. Hope this helps. Best of luck!
I think it could work. Perhaps gluing or taping the paper to itself while rolling it around the pencil all the way then carefully removing the pencil from the larger end of the wand. Using the excess bits of paper to make a thinner cone to affix the the point of the wand with glue or tape.

Thats super cool! I made one (took me about 7-10 minutes), and it was very easy! Since, i cant use glue guns, i just used paper and wrapped it around the side
You can roll some very thin pieces of paper up and use that for the outward 3d design and as she replied to a couple other comments, put paper maché inside for the strong base. I hope this helped you and anyone else reading!! 😋😁😌😉
Here’s a tip for u if ur making ur wand using the first method : Instead of using the pencil for the tip u can can use a crayon for more of a smoother wand
Regular glue or tape should hold the wand together. To fill it, try air-dry clay, papier-mâché, or foil. For the design, add a layer regular glue then stick on some thread on top, wait for it to dry then repeat as necessary to create your desired look. Once dry and set, paint it.
LittleBoyJam123 X, I just used nail glue and on another i used lash glue it won't be as sturdy but you could probably just use liquid/stuck glue but if your filling in the back it'll take longer
Tape or regular glue can work to hold it together. Air-dry clay could work to fill the cone. For the design, regular glue and string or yarn of some kind.
I am very unlucky because my parents are not buying wand for me and we don't use chopsticks because wer are Indian and then with paper I don't have brown paper and also I don't have acrylic paint😔😔

BRENDA SOTO
makers of fine wands since 2020 AD
I found this 2 days ago and am doing it on June 1st 2020
don’t @ me but I was so tempted to just go grab a branch-
you can actually do that
Same 😆
I have 2 trees in my yard and a small forest near me so that's what I do
😂😂😂😂I’m dead
That’s how wands were made always
just go outside and find a cool stick and wash it off and paint it 0.0
an intellectual 👁👄👁✨
i did that and by the next day i hated it
That’s what I was thinking. Widdle a wand out of a stick
I’ve already gone broke from buying the house robes so this really helped, thanks!
Can we appreciate how she still hearts comments :')
I used the first one and it turned out great! Thank you for this amazing tutorial!
I came here looking for how to make a real wooden wand, but this is dope as hell, dude 👍🏻
You have maded a Beautiful Wand, !!I just love it
your wands look super good and legit look like were bought from the studio
Thank you!
So cute! I’m definitely going to be making one soon. I think I wanna make one black with blue and bronze or silver for Ravenclaw 😊
A friend asks you what your wand is made of, you answer 'Chopsticks' 🙃🔫
this is A M A Z I N G! Imma do my Slytherin themed one and slither one in to my friends bag cuz she loves draco
So thoughtful! Your friend is lucky to have you.
@@BrendaSoto i am lucky to have u reply too😅
That's some a-tier friend right here.
@@lukaurbankitek6019 haha thank you 🙃
lets be honest, we all need a friend like you
I’m really happy with the results thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍

They look great!
I have a question how did you do the glue gun thing when you were showing your old wand where the design was complex
Adding more or less pressure on the glue gun helps control the thinness/thickness of the glue lines. That's how I made that wand. Also I suppose if you're quick enough, using a toothpick or bobby-pin to guide the glue on the wand before it sets can help you make unique designs.
No no I meant that when you were showing the thing you were doing the glue gun thing but the colour was coming out with the glue so how'd you do that
It was a demonstration motion. The glue I used was clear then once it dried I painted over it with gold paint. Colored hot glue sticks do exist in stores and online - I suppose you could use those if you wanted to.
@@BrendaSoto ok Thank you so much
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to go to the store and buy supplies for this!
The blue one on the thumbnail caught my eye
Ya me too

Thank you for this, helped a lot for my brothers costume event at school!
Yay, I'm so glad 😊
I have a question, for the pencil one can we not use hot glue?
You could use tape or regular glue. For the design, string layered on top of the glue.
@@BrendaSoto Okay thanks for telling
mine actually turned out good
Thank you so much! This helped me so much!
This actually works I would recommend it
Thanks for this tutorial! My sons very into Harry Potter right now and asked Santa for a wand!
Loved the video!
Thank you!
Haven’t seen anything better!
I'm happy this was useful!
Could a colored pencil work for the pencil wand
Definitely!
@@BrendaSoto thanks!
I made one and put a plastic rose on the end before the hot glue dried.

Is it possible if we can roll the pencil in the paper then remove the pencil from it because I use all my pencils and paintbrushes
I think it could work. Perhaps gluing or taping the paper to itself while rolling it around the pencil all the way then carefully removing the pencil from the larger end of the wand. Using the excess bits of paper to make a thinner cone to affix the the point of the wand with glue or tape.
Brenda Soto thank you a lot !
Have a Amzing day stay safe
You're welcome, you too! 💛
Thank you for this amazing tutorial! Now i could make wand for my school costume day! 🥰👍🏻
It was great I loved the way my wand turned out.Thanks:):):)
Also, can I use Elmer glue instead of the hotglue
Yes
Can i use a different kind of paint? Or does it have to be like acrylic
Any paint works!
Oh thank god then i only need to buy the glue anyway thx
@@mariachimasashige6800 you can use yarn/cotton or even wool to put it around the wand and for the inside you can either add clay or paper mache 😊
@@univxrse-g6q oh! Thanks!
Awesome video i loved this
Thank you!
Can you use cotton balls for instead of the hotglue
Sure, you’d have to make sure to compact the cotton balls so it’ll be sturdy.
Can you use yarn or tape instead of a hot glue gun? I have a wand but I want to make another one.
Yes! I think yarn taped on would create cool textures.
Thank you so muchhh🥺✨new subscriber
thank u soo much it is very helpful ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m glad ☺️
How did you get the pencil to stay in place because when I tried it, I can’t get the pencil to stay in place?
I can make a harry potter wand at school now!
the paper rolling part was so difficult but the rest is so fun
How did you get the pencil to stay in place the whole time?
@@Werewolfqueen449 i forgot but maybe i used hotglue or tape
Omg thank this helped so much!
This is amazingggg!
It is best and easy!!
I made it even tho its not that ok but im practicing doing 4 wand for the 4 houses
I love this energy ✨

What can you use besides hot glue cause I don't have any?
I used Elmers glue. Worked for me.
Regular glue or tape to hold it together. To fill it, try air-dry clay or paper mâché (this would take a long time).
Thats super cool! I made one (took me about 7-10 minutes), and it was very easy! Since, i cant use glue guns, i just used paper and wrapped it around the side
OMG TYSM YOU HELPED ME MAKE MY FIRST WAND FROM A PAINTING BRUSH
I think chopstick is the perfect choice for these diy thing
Can we use glue stick to stick the paper
Yes
Thank you
You're welcome :)
Great video😁
Thank you!
@@BrendaSoto you're welcome😀
Which glue should I use to fill the wand bc i don't have a hot glue gun
I'm not sure any other glue would work. You could try filling the cone with air-dry clay or maybe papier-mâché or foil.

Tip for people using nail polish; please make sure you open up a window after as the smell can be very toxicating
Thanks
Me who’s too broke to get the materials: ok time to get a stick and carve it
It would be also cool if it was a drawing wand.....
I did the oposite of doing what u did lol i made my own without hotglue i used clay:D

How many glue sticks spend on one wand?
Probably half a glue stick, it’ll depend on the length it’s cut to.
My glue is just sticking to the side of the paper 😔
Does it work
What if I don't have a glue gun? Nail polish? Or paint?
I don’t know my dude. Maybe papier-mâché?
Here’s a tip for u if ur making ur wand using the first method :

Usually the wand' colors are brown know?🤔🤗
Yes most of them are different shades of brown. Voldemort's wand is ivory. Some other wands are black, black/brown, or black/silver.
Dracos is black
I see, we're sacrificing a lot of hot glue and pencils. 👌
Best
I dint need to add hot glue it was already hard idk why
Omg tysm
How do u use a glue gun so even?!!!
I don’t have a hot glue gun?
LittleBoyJam123 X, I just used nail glue and on another i used lash glue it won't be as sturdy but you could probably just use liquid/stuck glue but if your filling in the back it'll take longer
ChristineTEE TV So you can fill the back with just normal glue?
I am seeing so many hufflepuffs and slitherins and ravenclaws, where are my griffindors?? Cmon we can do better.. 🤪😁😉😏🦁
Omg I’m the 1000th person to have liked this video! COOL xd
I can't use hot glue gun and I dont have a hot glue gun.. Aww 😕😔🙁😭
Isn't this a bit short
I DONT HAVE A GLUE GUN AAAAAAAHHH
theres tons of substitutes, be creative! i think regular glue should work.
Are you a fan of harry potter ?
yes
What if you don’t have a hot glue gun
Tape or regular glue can work to hold it together. Air-dry clay could work to fill the cone. For the design, regular glue and string or yarn of some kind.
I would do the pencil one but I don’t have a glue gun or paint 💀
No hate but just roll the paper with your fingers and not to waste hot glue use crumbs of paper
I feel like the waste of hot glue filling is the risk I'm willing to take, but I don't think my mum will
I am very unlucky because my parents are not buying wand for me and we don't use chopsticks because wer are Indian and then with paper I don't have brown paper and also I don't have acrylic paint😔😔
