2 unsharpened pencils or 1 wooden dowel about 14 inches long
(you can purchase decorative pencils or decorate pencils with markers, if desired)
Markers or stickers
Tape
Foil
Scissors
Crinkle ribbon (optional)
1 long twist-tie or pipe cleaner
STEP 1
Tape the ends of the pencils together.
Tear off a 12-inch piece of the foil.
Cut the foil into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.
STEP 2
Gather the foil strips into a pile. If desired, add curled crinkle ribbon to the pile of foil strips.
Fasten the twist-tie around the middle of the strips. Leave 2 ends of the twist-tie long enough to fasten to one end of the pencils.
SOME COOL IDEAS:
Listen to the magical rustling sound of the wand when it's shaken. Use lightweight, generic foil--it's easier to work with and it makes a better rustling sound than the heavier name brands.
