Elder Wand

This is how to make the Elder Wand seen in Harry Potter. Other tutorials use hot glue but hot glue is optional in this tutorial.

You will need:
-Skewer/chopstick
-Air dry Clay(I used Crayola model magic)
-Dotting tool or something to add the hole details
-Brown paint
-Paper
-Pen
-Paintbrush
Optional:
-Hot glue gun
-Black and gold paint
-Sponge brush

This part is optional but I recommend you to create a layer of hot glue to the skewer to add a wood-like, realistic texture. You can also use clay to add a layer of wood texture.

Begin sculpting the details of the wand with clay onto the skewer. Use a picture for reference.

Using a dotting tool(I used the back of a small paintbrush), create small holes to recreate the texture of the elder want. Again, use a picture for reference.

After your clay has dried, paint the entire wand with brown paint. It is a bit difficult to paint the small holes but be patient.

This step is optional but does make the wand look a bit more realistic. Using a sponge brush, dab some black and/or gold paint over the brown onto the wand to create some detail.

Draw the symbols onto a small piece of paper. I burnt the edges of the paper a bit for more detail but you don't have to do that.

Glue the piece of paper with the symbols onto the wand. Wait for everything to dry completely and you are finished!
