A really magic Harry Potter wand for Lumos and Reveal Your Secrets charms

Step 17Add surface features with the glue gun

add surface features with the glue gun
use the glue gun to add surface detail to the wand. Rotate the wand while applying the glue. You can see from the pictures here and on the Awesome Wands instructable, that everyone does this differently.

HOWEVER, it is a good idea to hide up the switch part so that no one will guess the more muggle working of your magical device. As they are only thin little paper clip wires it is quite easy to glue gun over them as part of the design.

In the second picture here you can see how I have gone over the metal clip and even carefully gone past the end of the metal so that the glue gun glue (plastic) joins back onto the wand.

NOTE: This is the finished wand with all the distressing (and some black shoe polish) done to it.
