Expecto Patronum!!!

We have finally seen the new Harry Potter!!! It was... AWESOME!!! I am a little sad that they are doing it in 2 parts though...but... I understand why. Don't worry I wont spill any of the goodies in case your still wanting to go see it, which you totally should... because it is AWESOME!!!

And in honor of witchcraft and wizardry, I have crafted up my very own wand!!!
Ohhh and its soooo easy to make... no really! And suuuuuuper cheap! Honestly you cant get cheaper than a rolled up piece of paper and some hot glue! I love it! I'm thinking of making a few more of these since I loved how it turned out and then making a cool wand stand to go with them to grace the top of my entertainment center.

So to make your very own witch or wizard wand... take a regular 8x11 sheet of paper and roll (tightly) from one side the other, once you've got your paper rolled up good and tight take a bit of hot glue and glue down your edge. Then cut off each end just a tiny bit and fill that in (very carefully) with hot glue. Let that dry for a few seconds and then begin to glue around all the sides of the "wand" to make the "bumpy" "magical" look. Once that dries you can begin to paint it. I painted the wand part brown first and just used one coat because I liked the way it made it look like wood. After that dried I just took a bit of metallic green paint and painted the "bumpy" "magical" part and Viola! You're ready to start dueling!
