Celebrate the new year by making these crafty resolution wands! They are easy, cheap and can be done with the kids! Make wishes, goals, and dreams a reality this New Years Day today.
Materials:
Paper
Markers
Sparkles/Sequins
2 Popsicle Sticks
Hot Glue
Contact Paper
Instructions:
- These instructions are to make 2 identical star borders; one for the front of the craft and one for the back.
- Next, cut out a long rectangle out of the contact paper. The length and width should be big enough to cover the inside of the star’s border when the rectangle is folded in half.
- Take off the sticky side of the contact paper and place upside down so the sticky side is facing up on the table.
- In the middle of half the rectangle, place all sparkles and/or sequins. Fold over the other half of the rectangle to cover and seal together the circle of sequence you created.
Tip: Hot glue the contact paper to seal the circle for a secure no spill wand.
- Cut off the access contact paper and glue on both star borders, front and back of the circle, leaving an open area for your popsicle sticks.
- Hot glue 2 popsicle sticks together, paint them. Then glue them to the inside of your wand you left unglued.
- Have your child write their goals for the new year on the star boarder and then your done!
