cool ideas for turning a dowel rod into a magicians staff. red and black and in less then 45 minutes!?

Question

for a show in my theater its our bloody and my director is unhappy with a prop

Answer 1

Do you have access to a drill with a small drill bit? If you can drill a hole in dowel rod near the top - tie some long different thin colored ribbons through it. Also glitter would be nice - make swiggly lines on rod with glue and sprinkle glitter on the glue - shake off excess glitter and let dry.

PS - use a quick drying glue

Answer 2

spray paint it glitter red and wind black electricians tape in a spiral around it. Glue some kind of knob or button on the top.

Answer 3

wrap it in crushed red velvet looking material,
at the top tie a black crushed velvet peice of cloth so it can hang, paint a plastic softball black with red markings or black with a red eye and glue it on the top, u might want to place little bells inside so when you swing it itll make a noise i dunno good luck

Answer 4

Use red and black tape - goes on fast, stays stuck on and comes off easy afterwards.

Answer 5

paint it those colors and put some clay anywhere you want it to look interesting.
