Hello! I'm planning on cosplaying a human Monomi soon and I wanted to have her magic wand as a prop, so I was wondering if you had any tips on how to make it? Thank you! ^.^
so! i can absolutely point you in a good direction for tutorials.

basically, you can do two approaches– pvc pipe for the staff, or a wooden dowel. for either, make sure to get the appropriate paint that won’t chip off easily, and something to seal the paint/make it glossy looking!
you can either use foam, worbla, foam+worbla, clay, or styrofoam/tinfoil covered by clay for the additions! for the gems (the one in the center of the heart, the one between the wings and the one at the end of the staff) you can do stuff like resin casting or buy resin jewels at a craft store or etsy. for the wings, you can either use foam/worbla/clay, but you could also buy miniature wings from craft stores or etsy. (you could also make wings with feathers and such.)
also, you can either do flat yellow for the hearts/end parts, or you can do gold! also, never be afraid to add a glitter finish to these kinds of things. i don’t think i need to say too much about how to construct it with those tutorials added, but remember your glues.
hope that helps! if i missed something, or you have a more specific question after these tips, feel free to ask again!
