Patriotic Wand Craft for Kids

Materials for Patriotic Wand

  • Wooden dowel (We used 1/4 in. x 12 in. similar to these)
  • Screw eye (We used 1 and 1/8 in.)
  • Various ribbons in patriotic colors

Materials for Patriotic Wands

Directions for Patriotic Wands

1. Screw the screw eye into the top of the dowel. I was just able to do this using my hands. No tools needed! Attach the screw eye to the wooden dowel

2. Cut some ribbon any length you want. (Ours were about 20 inches long.)

3. Thread the ribbon, one at a time,  through the loop and double knot it. (Lucy is at an age where she’s just learning to tie. I showed her how to hold the dowel steady between her knees while she tied the ribbon onto the hook.)
Tie ribbon onto the screw eye

4. Tie as many ribbons as you’d like. On some of our wands we also added some star garland to give it extra sparkle!

5. Enjoy and celebrate!
