Ooh, so pretty!!! Here’s my wand:
The top has clear quartz and aquamarine. Then, there’s feathers and black obsidian beads:
Then here’s the bottom I wrapped with hemp:

I like that and would like to try and make one. Is there a special way to wrap the twigs so they stay on? Do you use wire?

that’s how I made mine 
well kind of. I’m in awe of how she manipulated the hot glue. MIne was much more dribbly and well, It’s a paper straw (I know, not even wood) that is filled with hot glue, then painted. I used the hot glue to make designs on the straw and affix crystals. I can’t remember where I saw online how to make it this way but it was also for Harry Potter party favors. I wanted it to be small enough to go into my school box. It is dainty but I love it. But I like the idea of chop sticks. I will try that. It’s next to a cat and bell I painted for my kit.

I just used the natural twine thats also wrapped around the outside.
This is the guide I followed
I didn’t do so well with bending the thin birch branches I used, even though they were quite pliable after soaking, but I don’t think it matters that they mostly snapped off.
Still debating adding some extra decoration.

You’re allowed to have more than one. Some folks use different wands for different purposes, I’m told.

Yes i was just discussing with my daughter about upgrading my wand in the future… I live in Australia and am not much of a tree expert yet so do you have any suggestions what type of tree i should use? I pretty much have a mini forest in my backyard so i may have just the right type , other wise there is a massive bike riding trail surrounded by different trees and bushes.

Well, I’m far from being an expert. I’ve used juniper, because I recently had to trim mine back and I have lots of suitable pieces. From what I have read, almost any wood will do. If you search “best wood for wands” or something like that, you will find sites listing the magical properties of various woods. I would suggest starting by looking at what is available around you and identifying the wood. Then you can research its properties and make a choice. But I’m sure there are other ways, too and others may have better suggestions.

@Undomeher gave some wonderful advice! I second the idea about looking around and seeing what you have around you 
Sometimes- just like with Tarot cards, crystals, or other witchy tools- you’ll just feel that something is right 
If you do feel a pull to do research, here’s a list of Sacred Trees and some of their meanings/importance in Celtic traditions. Some trees have medicinal properties too, and I think it’s safe to say that every tree has magickal properties- but these may vary from tradition to tradition.
Good luck and blessed crafting!

So pretty 
I have something similar to it but was not sure how it was made and fell in love with it the moment I saw it.
I was wondering if you tell me what material you used for your wand!? I saw the paint on it 
and it is so pretty and I was wondering what the color used? Did you use clay?and what kind of clay!?
Thank you so much, I would love to experiment!

It’s absolutely amazing and I love 
I apologize for asking questions, I just been wondering, I bought this crystal
See
See I went to a metaphysical store and the owner of the store was telling me that this lady makes this Crystal out of clay and she probably put it in keln because crystals don’t have a High Point. They won’t melt and he said she paints it after she puts it in the Keln. I’ll just search it, I need to find out how and everything works lol so one day I have another stick I have been storing for special project!
Thank you

I recently crafted my own wand - I picked up a branch from a tree in my front yard that caught my eye. From there I used rope, quartz crystal, a small quartz sphere, amethyst, aquamarine, carnelian, sapphire, peridot, black obsidian, purple & black ribbon, black leather, a Witch charm, moon charm, moon phase charm, Virgo charm, Peridot birthstone charm, scissors, and a glue gun!!
