Supplies
- Wooden star wands
- Acrylic Paint (color of your choice)
- Paintbrush
- Seashells
- School glue
- Sequins
- Hot glue and hot glue gun (for parental use only)
- Ribbon in matching colors
- Scissors
The wooden star wands were originally found at Hobby Lobby for under $2. I did find some on amazon for a bit more. I also found them at Factory Direct Craft for under $2 but I have never dealt with this company before so I don’t know how they are about shipping, etc.
Instructions
Paint the star wand and shells using the selected color of paint. Allow them to dry completely.
This should not take long. Acrylic paint dries pretty quickly.
Once the paint is dry, use school glue to attach the sequins to the wood star. Allow it to dry completely before proceeding.
*TIP* Put a bit of school glue on the star and use the paint brush to spread it out. Then place the sequins down before it dries.
Using hot glue, attach the shells to the star wand.
Cut lengths of ribbon and tie in a knot on the wooden dowel just under the star. Secure with a dot of hot glue.
Your wand is ready for a magical time!
