Harry Potter LED Wand

While browsing for an idea for a Harry Potter wand i came across this great instructable:

Unfortunately my UV-LED didn't work so i had to use the one that was already with the fiberwand i had.
But it has 3 different light modes and the batteries can be changed without destroying the wand.

Time: Medium approx. 6 hours

Costs:

• Fiberwand 2 Euros or any other LED Toy

Tools:

• Soldering Iron
• Paper
• Straw
• Electric Wire
• Glue
• Papermaché
• Acrylic Paint

How to do it:

• We de-assembled the Fiber Wand because we wanted to use an other LED, which didn't work out
• You could use the Fibre Wand as it is, if the fibers are long enough
• Otherwise extend the wires to the LED
• Use a straw for supporting the wires
• Roll the straw tight in a piece of paper covered with glue
• After drying the wand was really good looking and sturdy enough for showcasing
• But it had to be hard enough for kids to play, so i used papermaché as an extra layer
• The papermaché was made from paper handtowels and wallpaperglue
• Paint the wand

I didn't glue the end cap to the battery cover. Instead i used a simple layer of paper around the battery cover and put the end cap on. So changing the batteries won't damage the wand.
