What Type of Clothes Do Wizards Wear?
While the traditional image of a wizard is that of an elderly man with a long white beard, in reality, there is no set dress code for wizards. Some wizards prefer to dress in simple robes, while others favor ornate clothing with lots of jewelry. What adds to the costume are some other magical details like a pointy hat and wand.
How Do You Make a Wizard Robe?
Start by finding a long black robe or cloak. If you don’t have one on hand, you can often find them at thrift stores or Halloween shops. Once you have your robe, look for some silver thread and embroider a star, moon, or another symbol onto the chest.
How Do You Make a Wizard Hat?
One basic method is to start with a cone shape and cut it out of stiff paper or fabric. Once you have your cone, decorate it with sequins, glitter, or other Wizard-themed embellishments. If you want a more authentic look, try using velvet or other rich fabrics. To finish off your Wizard hat, add a brim and a band of trim. If you’re feeling creative, you can even add a star or moon shape to the top of your hat.
How Do You Make a Wizard Wand?
Start by finding a straight stick that is about the size and thickness you desire. Use a sharp knife to remove any bark or roughness. Next, use hot glue or another adhesive to attach decorations such as beads, sequins, or feathers. Finally, give your wand a coat of clear paint or sealer to protect it from the elements.
