© Pren Wilcox Supplies Wooden dowel the length that you want your wand. Suede lacing 1 bowl of warm water 1 bead with a large hole 1 nail that fits through the hole in your bead and is about ½" (1.27 cm) longer than your bead Wood stain Hammer 1 small piece of leftover candle Heavy duty glue Sandpaper Scissors 1 clothes pin or small clamp Paper towels 1 large rag Cotton swab Something to protect your tabletop Instructions Using sandpaper, taper the wooden dowel toward one end and round off the tip.  Rub wood stain into the dowel using a paper towel. Allowing drying time between coats, repeat until you get the color you like.  Rub all over the wand with your leftover candle. If your wood stain has a built in sealer, skip this step. Use the rag to burnish the wax into your wand.  Put your suede lacing into the bowl of warm waterand let it soak for 1 minute. When you think it iss soft enough take it out and squeeze it out in your rag.  Begin the knotting by placing one end of the suede lacing on the end of your wand and wrapping the suede lacing around it twice to cover the end.
