How to Make the Perfect Pink Fairy Halloween Wand

Fairies and princesses are popular Halloween costumes for the younger ones. This pink fairy Halloween wand is the perfect costume accessory.

Supplies for the Halloween Wand

• 14″ length 1″ satin ribbon
• 27″ length ½” satin ribbon
• Four 6″ to 10″ lengths of coordinating 1/8″ satin ribbon
• Two 4″ x 8½” lengths of white tulle
• One 10″ skewer or 1/8″ dowel rod
• Mini Bowdabra
• 15″ length Bowdabra bow wire
• Hot glue and glue gun

Instructions for Making the Halloween Wand

1. Cut ribbons to appropriate lengths, and quickly pass the ribbon ends through a flame to seal the ends.
2. Prepare the wand handle:
   • Glue the skewer or dowel rod diagonally at the end of the 1″ wide ribbon.
   • When the glue is dry, trim the excess ribbon.
   • Spiral wrap the ribbon around the skewer to the end. Glue the end of the ribbon in place.
3. Fold the 15″ length of Bowdabra bow wire in half and place in the Mini Bowdabra. You can tuck the ends under the Mini Bowdabra so they are out of the way.
4. Individually, scrunch each piece of tulle into the Mini Bowdabra.
5. Leaving a 3″ to 3½” tail add the ½” satin ribbon to the Mini Bowdabra.
6. Make a bow with three loops on each side, ending with another ribbon tail.
7. Add the short lengths of coordinating ribbon to the Mini Bowdabra.
8. Compress the ribbons in the Mini Bowdabra with the Mini Bowdabra Wand.
9. With the ribbons still in the Mini Bowdabra, pass the ends of the bow wire through the loop, and tighten. Tie the wire with a secure knot.
10. To coil the bow wire, wrap it around a skewer, knitting needle, or dowel.
11. Fluff the bow.
12. Attach the bow to the end of the ribbon-wrapped skewer with hot glue.
13. Hold the wand at arm’s length, and gently tip the bow forward when casting spells.
