Harry Potter Wand Pencils

Harry Potter wand pencils are a fun and easy craft or favor for Harry Potter fans. I made these for a birthday party to accompany the spell books I made. Both were included in the favor bags I made. Kids love these Harry Potter wand pencils because they are different and keep you engaged in Harry Potter.

Harry Potter Wand Pencil Instructions

Lightly sand pencils if they have a sheen on them or you are using pencils that are not the regular yellow pencils.
Sharpen the pencils.
Turn on the glue gun to low temperature and allow it to heat up.
Randomly apply the hot glue on the top of the pencil and make a cap.

Allow it to cool a little and then apply more hot glue to build up the top of the pencil.

Once glue is dry, then paint the bottom of the wand pencil first and allow to dry. Place in disposable cups or jars until bottom is dry.

I usually mix several brown colors to paint the wand pencils and apply 2-3 coats of paint.
Once you paint the tops or glued areas, allow the pencils to dry over night.
I included these Harry Potter Wand pencils in the favor bag along with a simple spell book that I made. I received many text messages the next day about how much the kids loved the books and pencils.
