You
have made the hat that is going to whisk you off to the land of
magic. Now William is going to show you how to make a wizard's wand.
Just
follow our easy instructions and you too can make magic just like
Harry Potter!
WARNING:
Scissors can be dangerous!
Make
sure you ask an adult to help you before you start on your wand.
What
you will need:
One
tabloid-sized newspaper
A packet of wallpaper paste
Masking tape
Paints and a paintbrush
Clear varnish or a PVA solution

Step
1
Take a couple of double
sheets from the newspaper and fold them out flat one on top
of the other, then roll them up tightly.
|
Step
2
Fold one third of
the roll back on itself and tape the two arms together. |
|
|
Step
3
Mix up a small amount
of paste in a small throwaway container (a yoghurt pot is ideal).
Tear more newspaper into small strips. Cover the strips with
paste and cover the wand with them, making sure to smooth down
any folds or bumps.

|
Step
4
When the wand is
completely dry, you can begin to paint it. Take some brown
paint and cover the wand with two coats. Leave
it to dry.

Step
5
Once the paint has
dried you can add any details you like. We have put some gold
paint on the tip of the wand. When you have finished the detailing,
leave the wand to dry then varnish it and leave it to dry
again.

you can team up your hat with your wand and make magic!
