Choose the one you like best.Some people choose wood very carefully for its special meanings or properties.If you like this idea, finding the right wood may take longer.
This is your personal cubit.
Or leave some, if you prefer your wand to have a more natural or knotty look.
Do this very carefully so as not to cut yourself.For those who want to create a wand for fun (for example, Harry Potter fans), you can stop here.Your wand is finished!

Make additions to your wand if you like. If you want to create a symbol of friendship or want to use your wand in religious ceremonies, you may want to add items that mean a lot to you.You can use crystals, a bunch of mixed herbs, or any type of magical stone.Use these items and rub them on the wand.You could even tie them to it if you wanted.
- If you want to create a symbol of friendship, it's a good idea to check the meaning of the wood and herbs you're using, so they can reflect the nature of your friendship.
You could also dye or paint it...you can use any colors you want.It is also possible to carve patterns into wood, but this will require great skill and patience, and is not suitable for those without experience.

You will need a dowel pin (about 1.25 cm in diameter), a second dowel pin or pins (about 0.75 cm in diameter, because they will need to fit inside the first dowel), a decorated stick of wood (like the ones that sometimes make up chair backs), wood glue, a saw, sandpaper, and a drill with a bit similar to the plug you want to use.
This part will form the handle.You can usually get two handles from one stick.Cut it into the pieces you deem appropriate using the saw.
It will form the main part of the wand.You can choose the size you prefer (in Harry Potter, Hagrid's wand is 45cm long, but others are only 22-23cm long).Measure it and cut it using the saw.You can use sandpaper to make it smooth and blunt the tip if you want.
Drill a hole in the center of the handle and main section of the wand where you will join them, going halfway down the length.Be careful to drill them along their axis and not to use a drill with a bit that is too thick.
Cover it with glue and place it in the hole in the handle.Once it's in place, insert the other end into the main section of the wand.Push them together to make them come together well.If there is too much resistance, you can gently use a hammer or other heavy object to knock them into place.
Remove excess glue and sandpaper on any rough spots.You can also paint or dye your wand any color you like.You can use tools, such as an awl or screwdriver, to create a pattern in the wood of the handle (like the one on the "Ancient Wand" in Harry Potter).You can also add a clay bead to the wand (before painting or dyeing it) to make it more like the ones used in the movies, if you have the skill to sculpt and shape it.Once you've added the details you want, you're done!

Advice

If the twig you chose has a bump or knot, you can smooth it out with smooth, quick motions.
Some types of wood have particular meanings;the oak, for example, indicates strength and resistance, the willow flexibility and contemplation (be careful, the weeping willow is for mourning), the holly for hope and the hazel for knowledge.These are very general meanings, which may not accurately reflect those you attribute to a particular tree.The meanings of trees depend on where you get yours, whether from friendship or love, Wiccan or natural practices, your family traditions, or simply your feelings about trees.All reasons are valid, as long as you make choices based on how you feel.
If you can't find a crystal or don't know the types of magic stones, try a bag of herbs;some great herbs include rosemary for memory, lavender for devotion, sage for wisdom, violet for happiness, rue for clear vision, laurel for glory, and thyme for courage and strength .Place the wand in the herbs you have chosen and leave it there for a while to absorb the characteristics of the herbs.

Warnings

There's a big difference between playing Harry Potter and having spell battles for fun and making fun of someone's beliefs;be careful not to fall into the second case.
Do not throw or point your wand at anyone in a threatening manner!
Whatever you do, don't use the knife towards yourself;always use it in the direction away from you.
Don't use curry powder in your herb bag.
Don't hit anyone with your wand.
