You tin piece of employment whatever size hook...I recommend the metallic ones,
but I am certain the plastic ones would piece of employment too...after all,
I've made lightsabers too sonic screwdrivers out of plastic pens.

You'll postulate bake difficult polymer clay too...like fimo or sculpey.
(I used a combo of both, since I am running depression on stock!)



"And wishing for the Elder Wand, the Deathstick, unbeatable,
 invincible, swallowed him in 1 trial more."

I began making Prof. Dumbledore's Elder Wand from Harry Potter.
 I started amongst some brown...I swirled it amongst some white
to give it form of a marbled "wood-grain" texture.

 Take a sparse "snake" too twirl it some the handle.
 
 Then curl it betwixt your hands to shine it out.

Then add together some "knots"...

 Awesome.


"Okay, this tin business office every bit a sonic blaster, a sonic cannon,
 and a triple-fold sonic disruptor. Doc, what yous got?"

too smoothing it out past times rolling it betwixt hands.

too inwards the darkness bind them."

Same initiative of all every bit the others.

 With a twirl of greenish similar a vine.

 To brand the ring, I simply pressed a slice of aureate clay too inscribbled
some markings on it.

 And simply wrapped it some the end.
I also brand a three pointed foliage too outlined it inwards silver.

 
 

"Not every bit clumsy or random every bit a blaster. An elegant weapon, for a to a greater extent than civilized age." 

Next, the Lightsaber!
I started it the exact same every bit the others.
Capped the silvery inwards black...and added picayune clay circle buttons.

 I was going to simply travel out it every bit the handle, but
decided to add together some of the blade for fun too color!

"In a acre of myth, too a fourth dimension of magic… the destiny of a 

great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a immature boy. His name… Merlin."

And concluding but non least, Excalibur!
