St. Patrick’s Day Craft: Rainbow Wands

To celebrate St Paddy's day, we decided to make a rainbow-inspired wand. After all, wands possess all sorts of powers--think we'll use ours to make a pot of gold appear!

You Will Need:

• a 12-inch piece of dowel 
• paint in rainbow colours
• ribbon in rainbow colours
• green felt
• scissors
• glue gun and glue

Instructions:

To start, paint your dowel in all the colours of the rainbow. This takes a bit of patience, but the end result is fantastic.

Then take your ribbon and cut it into two-foot lengths. Using your glue gun, glue the ribbon to the top of your dowel.

Next, take your felt and cut out two shamrock shapes. If I don't know how to cut the shape, you can use a Google image search to help: type "shamrock template" into the search bar and you'll come up with a great variety to choose from.

Glue the felt shamrocks to the top of your wand (front and back) and let the magic begin!
