Supplies
Food coloring in red, yellow and blue
Wand for staining
Q-tips cotton swabs
Cloth-like paper towels

Instructions
Mix 4 drops of red, 6 drops of yellow food coloring, and 2 drops of blue food coloring to create a nice, warm brown.

Using cotton swabs, apply food coloring and allow to sink in for a while.

Dampen the paper towel and wipe the excess food coloring off of the wand.

If a darker wand is wanted, repeat the above until the desired shade is reached.

If the wand is too dark, either wipe until it is light enough, or run under tap water until the desired shade is reached.

Allow to dry completely in a safe, dry place, as the food coloring stains.

Please note that the patterns and tutorials you find here have been designed by Harry Potter fans all over the Internet. The authors alone hold the copyrights and licences to these patterns and tutorials, which means you CANNOT use their patterns to make something that you will sell to others afterwards. You can use them to make things for yourself. You can make some for your friends and ask them to pay for supplies. You CANNOT, however, ask them to pay you to do it as though you had created this pattern by yourself, or try to sell you crafts to a local store.

Think about it. Would you take a Prisoner of Azkaban book, photocopy it, put your name in big red letters on the front cover and try to sell it in your local library? The answer is, obviously, no. Well, selling crafts you have made but not designed would be just as bad!

On that note, Harry crafting to all!
