Tips for Making the Best Paper Magic Wand


Here are a few important tips and frequently asked questions for making the perfect paper magic wand.


Best Papers To Make A Magician Wand


The best paper to make a wand is plain, regular 8.5 x 11-inch printer paper.


I recommend using the standard or eco settings on your printer.


The template uses very little ink.


Construction Paper Tips


The best paper to use is standard printer paper because construction paper is challenging to roll.


If you use thicker paper, run it along the edge of a table surface before rolling.


You'll also want to be generous with the glue stick to hold everything nicely in place.


Tips For Rolling the Magician Wand


A toothpick is a helpful way to start rolling the magician's wand as tight as possible.


With some practice, you can roll the wands without a toothpick, but it helps make a perfect wand every time.


Don't forget to remove the toothpick with a few taps on the table.


Helpful Printer Guidelines on Our Template


You'll find printed guidelines lines on our DIY wand template that help simplify trimming.


We've also printed a diagonal line throughout that is beneficial to keep rolling in alignment.
