Fairy Wand

Here is the tutorial on the fairy wand I made last weekend for a birthday gift.

                                                                     Materials:

                                                                     dowel rod

                                                                     paint

                                                                     ribbon

                                                                     tulle

                                                                     glue

First, cut the dowel rod to the size you would like it.  I sanded down the ends so they would have a smooth edge. Then I painted the dowel rod with a design.  My daughter insisted on pink with purple hearts for her wand. 

Then I hot glued the ribbon to the end of the wand.

Next, I basted two pieces of tulle to make it ruffle. I attached the tulle to the wand with hot glue.  I glued one piece of tulle going in an upward direction and the other piece going in a downward direction.  I added a piece of ribbon between the two pieces of tulle to finish it off.
