Every fairy must have a wand. Here is how I made our fairy wands for our Tinker Bell party. It is so simple and VERY cheap.

Materials

wooden skewers

wooden stars (from the craft store)

thin ribbon and/or bows

silver (or gold) crafting spray paint

clear acrylic sealant spray

glue

duct tape (optional)

Instructions

1. Glue a wooden star to a skewer. I ended up also duct taping the star on for good measure.
2. After the glue dries, spray paint the wand silver or gold. Paint both sides. Be sure to paint in a well ventilated area. I painted mine outside.
3. Spray the wand with the sealant after the paint is dry. This also needs to be done in a well ventilated area.
4. When the sealant is dry, tie ribbon around the wand and add a bow if you’d like.
