Harry Potter Wands

We got a little into Harry Potter this summer.  Ok, we got a lot into Harry Potter this summer.  We watched the movies, listened to the books while we drove cross country, and pretended we were wizards all summer long.  So we just couldn't resist making our own wands.  We saw lots of tutorials online, and in the end we took a little from each perfected the process!  It was cheap (all we needed were wooden dowels, hot glue, beads, and paint).  It was super fun.  And it kept us entertained for days (maybe even weeks).
 Here is Jonny, carefully placing a bead in the hot glue...
 And Benjamin adding beads and hot glue to his dowel ...
 Here is a finished wand... looks pretty authentic don't you think!?!
Here we are all gathered around the table making wands and having a BLAST!
