Add more even magic to a "magic wand" with DecoArt® Matte Metallics™.

SUPPLIES

• paper towels
• sandpaper
• hot glue gun
• X-Acto® knife
• wood stick
• small paintbrush
• finding

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using an X-Acto knife or sharp edge, carve some texture into the stick. (Or shave off some of the bark.)

2. Sand any rough edges.

3. To form the handle, wrap hot glue around the end of the wand. (Tip: keep rotating the stick until the glue has cooled.)

4. Pick out a finding to attach to the end of the wand. (I used a snail shell, but it could be whatever you choose.)

5. Glue the finding to the end of the wand. Allow to cool.

6. Mix Moody Blue with Canyon Orange 1:1. Mix with water to have a wash and use to the entire surface of the wand.

7. Paint on Canyon Orange to the entire surface, leaving some of the basecoat wash showing through.

8. Paint a layer of Gold Enchanted. Allow to dry.

9. On the raised areas of the handle, paint on Gold Matte Metallic. Allow to dry.

10. Paint Lamp Black into the recessed areas of the want. Wipe back the paint with a paper towel to allow the metallic paint to show.

11. For sparkly accents, paint on Clear Ice Comet.

12. This is a fun craft for children and adults that can be customized to your tastes.

13. Pair the wand with other magical crafts to create your very own customized décor.

14. A great mixed media project!
