I hosted this event in preparation for Harry Potter Book Night in February. It was open to all ages, but I highly encouraged parents to stay with younger kids as we were using hot glue guns.
See this blog post for more details and pictures.
I used two tutorials I found online for guidance. Find them here and here.
Supplies needed for making wands:
chopsticks
hot glue guns
glue sticks for hot glue guns
crafts sticks (jumbo & skinny)
scissors
lotion (tip: to avoid bad burns/blisters when using hot glue, lotion your hands. The moisture keeps the glue from adhering so well to your skin and causing burns/blisters. )
Supplies need for painting wands
paint
brushes
paper plates for palettes
paper towels
cups of water for brush rinsing
