My FAB friend, Kathleen, introduced me to the world of wands and she hooked me! She makes wands for her kids and for around her house every holiday and now I do it too! They are SO easy and gorgeous and I can't tell you how many compliments I get on them!
*************************
They are fun for the kids to play with and REALLY cute sticking out of planters, a grouping of pumpkins or baskets.
Scarlet will be carrying the spider wand on Halloween... it's PERFECT for her costume!
Instructions:
topper (anything with a foam core center)
dowel
acrylic paint and brushes
ribbon
glue
- Cut the dowel to a length you like
- Paint the dowel and add polka dots if you like
- Tie ribbons around the top of the dowel and glue in place
- Make a hole in your topper with the dowel and fill with glue
- Place dowel in hole and wait until it dries
Thats it!!! These are EASY!!! I'll post my other wands when those holidays come...
Okay, those are totally adorable!!

I wonder if a wand would work as a "stay-in-your-seat-or-I'll-bonk-you-with-this-thing" instrument?
