Magic Wand

A wooden dowel crowned with a glittering crystal, wrapped in sculpted hot glue that cascades down the shaft like ancient enchanted bark. Charity Grace builds up the organic texture in layers, then seals everything under acrylic paint and charms for a wand that feels sturdy and surprisingly elegant. Quick enough for a weeknight craft session and endlessly adaptable to any character or costume.
