1. Find a stick research the type of stick that your using and how it relates to magic. You can find this in the SOM tools.

2. Strip the stick and then sandpaper it and make sure you like the way it feels think about the good magik you will complete with it.

That is certainly one method.

There are many other methods -- more methods than beliefs! Some traditions even require the making of several wands by differing means.

While I do agree, as a wand maker myself I do believe that the wand chooses how it is made, and by this is when I make a wand I go with what feels right and natural at the time that the raw wand, for lack of a better term, is in my hand.

Secondly I also believe in a form of the wand choosing the person. So far none of the wands I have made have felt right for me, but they have for those whom I've shown them too.

I'd like to add another method that's a little different from the usual wood based wand. The people who taught me this called it their 'heavy zapper' and from what I've been told, it's got one heck of a wallop!

1) Take a 12 inch piece of copper tube with a cap for each end. You can find these in the plumbing section of a hardware store.

2) Take some wire and place it - ideally by spiraling it inside the tube - on the inside of the copper tube.

3) Take crushed crystal or small crumbled crystals and pour it inside the tube. Seal the caps. Bless/etc

That's it!

I forgot to add to decorate it and make sure that everting that you put on your wand has a meaning.

How do you attach crystals to the wand. I've tried but no luck.

You can attach crystals with glue, with wire or twine, etc. But a wand doesn't need to be anything more than a twig, no decorations or oils are necessary, they are only a nice addition
