This sounds so awesome! But if I start making my own wand my familiy will send me to the hospital. Or even better-to Church! but maybe while they not around….:D

Hannah,

The cool thing about a craft-along is that our wonderful crafty witches will help you along the way! Try it – it will be fun to see how everyone’s wands turn out!

Doris is right, Hannah! We Crafty Witches took care to pick a tutorial that even the most craft-challenged person can do – give us a try!!

Also, if it helps to relieve your concerns, Crafty Witch Quietish is preparing a step-by-step How-to Video that will be available for viewing around the start of the Craft-Along.

We hope to see you there!

I plan to use this for a craft activity at my library. I’m a children’s librarian. It looks like fun.

The more the merrier Patrick! Everyone at your library is welcome join us in the CAL!

And for those living with Muggles, I can feel your pain. I think my boyfriend’s second last name is Dursley sometimes :P

lol, if you want to make a colorful wand you already have to have a “Wand for staining” – that made me laugh :)

Awesome! I can hardly wait to get in on this! So… nobody would be mad if I got a little elaborate, carving my dowel and such? I should see about getting a length of vine, since my birthday’s in September like Hermione’s…. Squeee!

Go for it, Witchchylde! The wand, after all, does choose the witch or wizard – so your wand should absolutely be perfectly suited to you!!

We’ll see you on May 1st bounces

Ohh! I can’t wait! I made a primitive wand once, but it wasn’t all that good. So now I will try again.
