We came up with this wand decorating project as an activity for Ada’s birthday party.  I had planned to have the kids decorate birthday hats, but Ada thought making wands would be more fun.  She was right.  My kids have been running around the house with them for the last two weeks. To make your own Magic Star Wands you will need:

*Cardstock Stars (We got ours at Michaels Crafts, but you could also make your own)

*Wooden Dowels

*Wide Clear Tape

*Craft Glue

*Scissors

*Ribbons (We used seam binding)

*A Variety of Glitter, Sequins, Feathers, Stickers, Etc.

*Paper Plates to Hold Decorations

1. Tape star to dowel.

2. Spread out decorations on paper plates.

3. Using craft glue, allow kids to attach decorations to star.

4. Tie ribbons around dowel.

5. Put wands in a safe spot until dry.
