I ordered a 100 yard roll of personalized ribbon on line.
Purchased assorted ribbons in "their colors" & theme locally to allow some variations
- 12 inch dowels
- 18 mm jingle bells
- my trusty hot glue gun
- various colored ribbon
100 yard roll of customized ribbon
printed by personal creations
All other ribbons, dowels, & bells purchased at my local Hobby Lobby & Michaels.
For each of the wands, I selected 4 ribbons... hot glued on 1 bell with a twist... & eventually I ended up with a weddings worth of wands.
I hope the kids will like this surprise & our guests might decide to keep one as an extra wedding day momento.
I cut each length of ribbon approximately 30"
My daughter was visiting... so I got her help!
One of her oldest friends stopped by for a visit...
MORE HELP!
They tied a bell to the center of a length of sheer ribbon
Every wand includes one personalized ribbon...
one sheer ribbon with a bell...
and 2 other ribbons from a various assortment collected.
All ribbons are then folded in half-
tied to dowel
and hot glued in place

After all the wands were fully assembled
it was time to even out the edges...
Then each ribbon edge needed to be sealed
by flame to avoid unraveling
2 weeks later... Wands completed!!!
Packed up and ready for transport!
Thank you Deandra & Gabby...
We are all ready now for our congratulatory wave!
