Make a DIY Harry Potter Magic Wand
Today we are making a DIY Harry Potter Magic Wand. I mean, who doesn’t want to make Harry’s wand?
We have made hundreds of Harry Potter crafts and this is one of our very favorite! One of the coolest things about the magical world of Harry Potter has to be the wands that are special to each character.
While the wand may choose the wizard, sometimes its better to make your own Harry Potter wand. This is a perfect Harry Potter craft for your very own Harry Potter party, or just as a little fun project for your kids!

The best thing about these personalized wands is that we have a Harry Potter spells printable that can be used to create a spell book for kids to use their new wand with!
Using your completed Harry Potter wand craft, kids can be just like Harry Potter and practice new spells! Kids can pretend to be part of Harry Potter’s world and cast their own spells with these homemade Harry Potter wands.
Supplies to Make Magic Wand
- Hot glue gun with glue sticks
- Paint of your choice (I used silver, black, white, brown, gold, and red)
- Wooden Chopsticks
- Paint brushes
Steps to Make a Personalized Harry Potter Wand
Step 1 – DIY Harry Potter Wand Craft
Come up with a plan for your wand!
It’s always fun to make up your own idea, or you can even try to make wands from the actual Harry Potter movies.
I did that with one of mine:
Step 2 – DIY Harry Potter Wand Craft
After you have figured out what you want your wand to look like, it’s time to bring out the hot glue gun.
This is probably the most tedious part of the craft, especially if you are trying to make little knots in the wand like I did for the Elder Wand. These knots are created out of the glue.
Making Wand Knots and Bumps
If you want to do this, it will take a lot of spinning the wand and several additions of glue. However, you can do pretty much anything you want with the design; whether it be swirls, texture, or wand handles.
Step 3 – DIY Harry Potter Wand Craft
After your glue has dried, and your wand is the desired shape, now you can paint it however you like!
Don’t forget to decide what type of wood it’s made out of and what core it has!
Playing with Finished Harry Potter Wand Craft
With their new Harry Potter wands, your kiddos can cast spells along with the movies, try out some of the Harry Potter activities at Hogwarts is Home, or even take a virtual tour of Harry Potter History of Magic.
It’s especially fun to pull these out at a party and have a little duel with your friends.
