How to Make
Full directions are in the printable How-To card below. This is a quick overview of the craft.
Step 1: Start by adding hot glue to the dowels, make sure to glue all around the wooden dowels. This is going to add a nice tip to a wand. Then swirl the glue all the way down, giving it a twirled look.
Step 2: Remove the rubber part to the plungers, they will twist right off. Then spray the dowels and the plungers gold.
Step 3: While it is drying wrap your ivy garland around the bamboo wreath. Then hot glue the ends of the plungers together to make a triangle shape.
Step 4: Next take the jute twine and wrap it around the ends of the plungers a few times. This is going to add hold but also give the wreath a fun look. Then hot glue the bamboo wreath, to the center of the wooden triangle. Use hot glue where the wreath touches the triangle.
Step 6: Glue the wand wooden dowel down the center of the wreath.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are four classical elements that are what the houses stand for. Here is how they are listed: Fire (Gryffindor), Earth (Hufflepuff), Air (Ravenclaw), and Water (Slytherin).
Slytherin is green due to the jealousy of Harry Potter and the Dark Magic aspect of this series. The green and silver are the stand out colors in this house.
