Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo

Ever since my daughter watched Cinderella, she has been pretending to be a princess. To pass the time on a snowy Sunday, we decided to make a princess wand. I used the following:

• One lollipop stick
• Spool of ribbon (can use different colours)
• One patch of felt
• Embroidery floss
• Beads
• Feathers
• Stuffing (I used organic raw cotton)
• Cookie cutter
• Hot glue gun

First I applied hot glue to the end of the lollipop stick and then wound the ribbon around the stick and hot glued the top, and cut the excess.


Then I traced the shape of the star using a disappearing marker and the cookie cutter on felt.  I cut both sides at the same time to keep the shape.


Using the embroidery floss in the same colour as the felt I stitched around the edges, leaving a one inch hole a the bottom.


I filled the star with the raw cotton.


I tied different colour ribbon around the top leaving the ends dangling. Then I threaded the beads through the ends and tied them off.


Once the top was complete, I filled the hole with hot glue and stuck the top end of the stick in, and held closed until the glue dried. I applied feathers around the base to hide any gaps or glue.


My daughter has not stopped playing with this! She is running around turning everyone into princesses! I even caught her galloping off to meet the prince.
