TUTORIAL - TURN FIREPLACE TOOLS INTO WANDS

Miniature Dollhouse Fireplace
tools and its holder.
Don't

you have 1 or 2 of these little sets that

decorate your mini fireplace.
Its time to think outside of the box.

Time to transform these into
WANDS!!!!

I used to have numerous sets of

these - but I seem to have lost lots of

them.
This was the only pieces that I

could find that I owned. 
Oh well - they are around here somewhere!
 When I saw these

again - I looked at them in a new way.
 

I guess you might say that if it weren't for

my witch needing a wand - I might not would

have recognized this as such.
Take your

little Dremel sander and just sand off the unwanted

parts.
The metal is soft so it will only take about

a few seconds to cut off those offending

pieces.

Here are the pieces that I sanded off.
And this is what you are left with.

My favorite is the poker - the long one.

2 are the same size since they were the shovels.

And then (what is suppose to be the

little rake) is the smallest. 
 The 2 smallest wands will

go to Permelia's 2 young nieces.

 

 

And look at the pieces you took

off surely you can use those parts for

something!

 

A long time ago I had taken a permanent

marker to the poker.
This knocks off what

appears to be a new look. I still do not

know if I want to paint the wands.
Right now they look a little used.

 

The little fireplace stand has 2 uses.

You can use it as a Parasol/Umbrella

stand or you can use it by the front door

to hold their wands.
Am not sure what I will use the stand for.

But for some suggestions - you
could use it as a stand

as a wand holder and put a sign above

it saying, "Wands here" or "Park Wands here",
with an arrow pointing down to this stand.

I think that will look so cute.

 

When you google wands - you will see that

there are many different

sizes and types.
The longest one that I remember

seeing was 13.5 inches long.
Of course that it too big for a
dollhouse miniature wand.
Permelia's wand

will be 3 inches long.
Paint these tools or leave as is.

The choice is up to you!
I hope that you can use this idea.

Thank you for visiting me!
