I was trying to come up with an idea to take the craft show we did on Saturday that little girls would like. My mind kept going to wands but I didn't want to do them with dowel rods. I thought about it and decided to do them with those large pixie sticks you can buy ( I bought them at Sam's Club). I added some cute felt stars to the top and added some ribbon. I think they turned out really cute. The funny thing is that the first kid who bought one was actually a boy scout who was at the show buying popcorn. He just wanted the candy lol.
Here is how to make the wands.
First cut three stars out making two larger and one smaller. I this case I would have cut 2 orange and 1 yellow
Hot glue the yellow star onto the orange star.
Do not glue the two orange stars together yet!
Cute your ribbon to go inside the stars. You can make it as long or as short as you want. I used 4 strands of ribbon for each but again you can make it to your liking.
On your large star put a small line of hot glue
Lay ribbon down
Hot glue all over your star except the bottom of the star. This is where you will stick the pixie stick in.
Put your two orange stars together now.
At the opening stick your pixie stick in. Secure with a dab of hot glue.
I am weird and need everything to match so I had my ribbon and stars match the color of the pixie stick.
Enjoy!
