Wands and Bottles

What would I do without Instructables?

These are my people, the DIY-ers, and not just your run-of-the-mill DIY-ers who can tell you how to fix your leaky sink or hem your corduroys (though these are lovely folks). My fave tutorials are about making appealing things that you didn't know you needed, like wands:



These are billed as Harry Potter wands, but a wand is a wand is a wand - you could do anything with the basic idea. The glue gun details are genius.

Also - and here I thought I had shared these with you - one does need potion bottles:



Lurrrrve that celtic motif. Again, the tutorial is Harry Potter-inspired, but you could obviously tailor the bottles to your aesthetic preferences. And to think, you'll never have stale beetle eggs again!

I know. It makes me wish I had a billion things to put in bottles. The wands though, I know the world is better off if I don't have one...at least a working one. :)
