1. About the 'cylinder';
I got a piece of card, and sorta 'rolled' it around the Pepsi lid. The rubber bands in the photo's were to keep it in place as the glue dried, and I used a few layers of very thin card (it's flexible so it's easier to make cylinders with it) so that it was really strong.
Something else you could use for the cylinder - the card tube you get on the inside of wrapping paper, just cut maybe 5cm or so. Cut a circle from a piece of card that's the same size as the hole of the tube, super-glue the bottle-lid to it, then tape this to the cylinder. Simpler and easier than what I did!
The reason why I made this is because I wanted to seperate the 'head' of the wand so I didn't have to make two seperate sticks for each wand.
The cylinder was to hide the lid and to make it look neater. It also gives a little extra support, because Pepsi lids are quite small and without the long cylinder, the clow/star head of the wand could just break off.

Where did you get these types of templates ? Because I'm working on a project and I'm almost done and I want to put the pictures showing step by step on how to do said project then upload it on here.
Which template? If you mean the tutorial itself, I just made it up myself in Photoshop.
Oh ok! Thanks but nevermind I found something else different!
This is a really great tutorial! 
The bottle cap idea is genius!
The bottle cap idea is genius!haha thank you!!
You're welcome. 
Is it okay if you cover the card with clay(Like Model Magic) instead of balls of newspaper?
I don't know as I've not tried it, but it might work!
Omg You're a GENIUS on how to make this prop(s) easier to make instead of all the expensive ways to do it!!! THANK YOU!!! Now I can ACTUALLY try and successfully make my CCS Sakura cosplay with this and finally get my friend to be my Tomoko since she's also a photographer... ... ... THAT'S NOT WHY I WANT HER TO COSPLAY HER AT ALL!!! >.< We kinda agreed that she'd do the cosplay with me ever since I won the perfect Sakura wig in a bidding war and only paid $5 for it in total. 
I'm glad this was useful to you!
will regular old kitchen sheers work on the bottle lid?
I don't know, I've never tried that but it might work.
what did you to cut them?
I used a craft knife and some scissors.
kthnx 
Thank you so much! I was in desperate need of a staff and I'll let you know how successful I am at following your tutorial.
This is fantastic, I look forward to trying this tutorial myself for a convention I'm going to!
wow they look amazing

Thanks, I'm glad it helped!
This is wonderful! Thanks for making this - i didn't know how to even /start/ making the wand, let alone the birdy-part. Just curious, but how long does it take to make the wands? Well, mainly the two heads.
The head for the bird wand took FOREVER! x_x
Because you want to get the shape right, and as smooth as possible. I can't really remember how long it took, as it was Summer 2009 when I made these, but I think it took about a day just doing the papier mache of the birdy-part. Afterwards, it only took ages becuase of waiting for paint and glue to dry.
It didn't take as long with the other one, although the way I did it with card did take a while.
One thing, if you wanted to make the star wand, make sure the wings are on securely, mine broke off.
The bird-head should be fine, mine is still very strong even after all these years.
