Wands for the most wonderful wizard there ever was.
Looking for a cheap wand project that gives you more freedom than hot glue? You came to the right place. Essentially this project involves just wooden dowels and clay, but I'll help fill in the blanks during this step-by-step tutorial.

Step 10
Now your going to make your clay for the wand handles. You can use polymer clay, but for those of you who don't want to pay the high price for polymer, here's a little recipe for something almost as good. This clay is called bread dough.

Step 11
You'll need to take 3 slices of white bread and cut off the crust. Tear the 3 slices into small pieces and put them in a Ziploc bag. Next add 3 tablespoons of tacky glue to the bread in the bag.

Step 12
Zip the bag and mash the contents together. Once mixed, knead the dough in your hands. The finished product should look something like this.
For future projects you can add food coloring to dye the dough. I left mine white because I'm going to paint it. Also, the bread dough will not mold. I have a trinket I made out of this stuff years ago and it still looks like it just dried. You can add three drops of lemon juice if you're paranoid but it'll work either way.
