Pinterest Sunday: Harry Potter Wands

I have decided that Sundays will now be Pinterest days. What does that mean? It means every Sunday I’ll be sharing a bookish craft with ya’ll that I found on Pinterest.

Obviously, none of these craft ideas were created by me, and I’ll give the creator the credit he or she deserves. I just want to share some cool and fun—and maybe even new—craft ideas with you. And maybe I’ll even scrounge up the willpower to actually do the craft one day. Who knows?

The craft I want to share today was posted by Gretchen over at Boxy Colonial. I’ve actually already done this particular craft at my Harry Potter party, which you can check out here. My roommate actually used these directions for us to make our very own wands, just like these:

This is a great craft for book clubs or just a night of hanging out. Besides owning a glue gun, all you need is brown colored paints and some of those weird sticks from the craft section of Walmart.

Mine from the party turned out a little more dark and loopy than I originally intended, but I like it. It makes great bookish décor. Of course, the Hermione wand I bought from Ollivander’s is cooler, but this one is MINE. Check it out:
 

So, what do you guys think? Would you do this? Yay? Nay? Maybe? Sound off in the comments.

Also, if you’d like to follow me on Pinterest, you can do so here. Or, if you just want to check out what bookish crafts I have saved so far, you can go here.
