Elder wand with own hands

Reality in many respects differs from the magical worlds in which we sink, thanks to books and films. We do not know how to perform miracles with one wave of the hand, but we still want to believe in magic and we want to get its attributes. For example, an elder-stick is the object of the desire of many fans of "Harry Potter". We'll figure it out how to make it yourself.

Any fan of fantasy will indicate his reason for wanting to have this souvenir. But in fact, everyone agrees that, first of all, they attract elegance, beauty, style and pleasant sensations from touching this artifact. The elderly wand, created by itself, combines all these qualities.

In addition, in the magical world of "Harry Potter", it is considered the most powerful among the ever existing magical accessories. And its owner is endowed with the power to create great deeds. The heroes of the books of Joanne Rowling committed terrible acts in order to get this "gift of death".

Wood base

Unlike the well-known plot, in the real world no one has to be killed, so that the elder's wand is yours. There are several ways to create it. The classic method requires the use of the usual branch as the basis for the craft. To make your dream come true, you need to do the following.

First, find a few twigs that have recently broken off from a suitable tree. If the elder does not grow nearby, you can use a willow, apple tree or just your favorite plant of this type. Clean the most suitable for the shape and size of the knot from the bark. Then leave it for a couple of days on the windowsill so that it dries well.

After that, lightly sharpen the area that is near the tip, and cover the workpiece with varnish. This will be the basis for your future craft. The Dumbledore's bacon wand has characteristic bulges and hollows on its surface. How to create them, we will understand later. In the meantime, let's talk about one more option for preparing the case.

We work with cardboard

This method is very fast and easy to perform. For work it is necessary to prepare the following materials and tools:

• A4 cardboard (its color does not matter);
• Silicone;
• Stationery scissors and glue.

Start by folding the sheet diagonally from one corner to the opposite. Bend it halfway, and cover the rest with glue. To better understand how to make an elderly stick, twist the cardboard into a tube, and then spread and wait until it dries.

Silicone - to the rescue

Your basic material should become firm and sturdy. When you see that he is ready for the next stage of work, put silicone into action. It can be found in any store building materials.

This filler is sold in different in volume tubes. If you choose a large one, you will need a special pistol in addition to it. But for this work is quite enough standard packagings of small size. In the work with him, no additional tools are used.

Silicone is needed in order to make an elderly stick, with its own hands made at home, has become more massive and weighty. Open the tube and pour its contents into the wide end of the workpiece. If you worry that one package may not be enough, use the material sparingly and do not fill them all the space inside the case. In this case, your creation will be easier.

"Sip" in the same way and the opposite side. Wait until the filler has dried. Packages with silicone always indicate the term of its congealing. After the inner part of the workpiece has finally hardened, you can proceed to decorating, thanks to which your craft will look exactly like a real elder stick.

Materials for decoration

This powerful artifact has a very interesting shape. At first glance, it may seem that it is rather difficult to recreate it. But in fact it is quite real. First, prepare everything that will be needed in the work:

• Strong wire, from which we will make a frame;
• Aluminum foil;
• Sculptural or ceramic clay;
• Stack (tool for modeling);
• Ohru;
• Black, brown, white and golden acrylic paints and brushes to them.

That you have a real elder-stick, you can use a special frame as its basis. Cover the wire with foil in three to four layers. At the same time, carefully smooth it, so that after that it would be more convenient to apply a layer of clay on it.

We decorate

Prepare small plastic cylindrical strips from plastic material and attach them around the frame. You need to make 5 such thickenings, each of which will be slightly smaller in size than the neighboring ones (if you arrange them in the direction from the handle to the tip). The distance between them also needs to be done differently.

Do them in small cavities using a wire or a rod from the handle. Separately, make a relief from the clay in the form of a cone and fix it on the thick end of the body. Now go to the painting.

Fully coat the entire product with a black base. Since the elder bacon should have brown bulges, paint them in this color. Please note: holes on the spheres should remain dark.

Wipe a little thin part of the frame with ocher and draw on the handle a white symbol of the gifts of death (a circle and a vertical strip inscribed in a triangle).

Now you have the most powerful magic tool in the Harry Potter franchise book series and films. The elder bacon is actually ready for use. Now it remains to perform a small final ritual, after which you can begin to conjure.

We begin to conjure

Some lovers of magic are advised to go to the forest at night and conduct a whole rite with spells and a circle around the candles. But since not every parent will allow his child to go into the thicket alone, you can limit yourself to a simpler way of dedication.

A magic wand is a tool that enhances the likelihood of fulfilling desires. And if you turn to magic, then you want to have a certain event in your life.

When you crave it with all your heart, the magic attribute greatly increases the chances of realizing a dream. That is, the guarantee of the effectiveness of any artifact and spells is faith. The stronger it is, the more powerful your gift becomes.
