Now that the latest and last edition to Harry Potter's story is here, it seemed like a great time to do a Hogwarts themed craft round up. And what is more important to a witch or wizard than having the right wand?

DIY Harry Potter Wands Tutorial by majann on DeviantArt using dowling rods and hot glue.
The wand tutorial on Your Life Uncommon also utilizes hot glue, but uses a paper base instead!

Gretchen on Boxy Colonial uses long chopsticks for the base in her wand tutorial, giving them that classic tapered appearance.

What is a wand without it's magical core? The wand tutorial from
Hideous! Dreadful! Stinky! puts together a great party favor / activity where you get to add the core to your new wand.
Not up to making your own wand? I highly recommend the wands from The Muggle Wand Maker. I used to vend in the same farmer's market as this craftsman, and own a few of his creations that I got during the premiere party for the final movie when our local theater screen all 8 in a row!
