Here's how to create Wands for St. Patrick's Day
STEP ONE
To begin the lucky shamrock wands, gather all supplies. Basecoat the wooden dowels with Glorious Gold metallic acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
STEP TWO
Attach one glitter shamrock to the front and the back of the wooden dowel using a glue gun and glue sticks. Starting with a single line of glue in the center and then additional glue around the edges of the shamrock. Apply additional glue to the stem of the shamrock to finish. The shamrocks come in a pack of 12 for just $1.25, so making 6 wands is super quick and easy.
STEP THREE
Measure and cut a 20” length of rainbow stripe ribbon. Tie the rainbow ribbon in a square knot around the stem of the shamrock wand. Cut a triangular notch at the tail ends of the ribbon. This fishtail cut will prevent the ribbon from unraveling.
STEP FOUR
Basecoat the cardstock alphabet letter stickers with Glorious Gold metallic acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. A great tip is to purchase white cardstock alphabet letter stickers and color them with acrylic craft paint to match any project. When painting a small item, like a letter sticker, use the paint on the inside of the cap.
STEP FIVE
To finish the Dollar Tree magical wands, apply the gold glitter monogram letter stickers to the center of the foam shamrock. Personalize a wand for each one of the kiddos.
