How to Make Ribbon Wands

I wasn't planning on making ribbon wands. But we learned later on the the church doesn't allow confetti, thus, the wands. 

Materials Needed:
Ribbons (lace looks nice as well)
Sticks (I got mine from the grocery)
Glue/glue gun
Scotch tape
Scissors
Bells (optional) (Wellmanson in Divi)



  1. Tape the end of the ribbon on the back rest of a chair. Wind the ribbon around until you have reached the desired number of strands.
  2.  Cut where the ‘start tape’ is.
  3.  If needed, cut the ribbons in half
  4. Wrap a piece of the ribbon on top of the stick, put some glue and wrap around. If you wanted to add another ribbon, place some glue on the inside of the first ribbon then wrap it around the stick
  5. Insert the bell and tie the ribbons to secure



Notes:
  • There are several shops selling bells in Divisoria, same street as Wellmanson. I got the big bells since they are cheaper and make more noise. Should you get the smaller one, I suggest buying wire loops and attaching 2-3 bells. 
  • I've decided to have longer ribbons based on this picture:
