While wearing my Cardcaptor Sakura costume at the convention, I had a lot of people ask, "how did you make that wand?" so I figured that it would be a good time to write up a tutorial!
This tutorial will be in multiple parts to provide the detail I went through in making my wand so hopefully it will be helpful to other people!
As always, if you make a wand using this tutorial LINK ME! I'd love to have pics of them in action!
