How to find and craft magic wands in New Horizons
First thing’s first, you need to seek out Celeste – Blathers’ little sister with a burning passion for astronomy, astrology, and everything celestial. She appears randomly during shooting star nights, though she has been known to pop up on a regular night, too. Her job in the latest Animal Crossing title is to inform players about meteor showers, whereas she’d previously had a section in the Museum where she’d teach players about stars and constellations using her telescope.
She hands out one crafting recipe per visit, which can be Space, Zodiac, or Wand-themed – the latter obviously being what you’re looking for. Sadly, there’s no set way of guaranteeing she gives you a wand DIY, as it’s actually just random and comes down to pure luck. Not all of the magic items come from Celeste, though.
What’s important is that during meteor showers, you wish on every shooting star that comes your way. You’ll know when to do so when you hear a chime noise – this means there’s one in the sky, so angle your camera up and press A while empty-handed, and your character will make a praying motion of sorts. The next day, your beach will be littered with Star Fragments, which you need in order to craft each wand.
Make sure you wish on as many stars as you can![ad name=”article2″]

Obviously, it takes a lot of Star Fragments in order to make all of the DIYs, so it’s worth trying to wish on as many shooting stars as you can during a meteor shower to increase your chances of finding them washed up on your beach the next day.
If you’re having a hard time trying to get the owl to give you the right crafting recipes, it’s also worth seeing what your friends have as they might be willing to trade, or even let you onto their islands when she’s visiting so you can get an extra blueprint from her.
