A
RAINBOW
to dance with ... who could resist?!
We had so much fun making these rainbow ribbon wands.
Simple and and sure to bring delight!
To create you will need
A rainbow of sharpie markers
White Ribbon (fairly thick & wide ~ we found ours at the dollar store)
A sturdy twig
A key ring
An eye screw
Rubbing alcohol (over %80 works best)
Medicine dropper
Glue gun
A plastic table cloth (to protect your work surface)
Begin by scribbling thick lines with your sharpies along the ribbon ~ going in order of the rainbow.
Then take your medicine dropper and drop drops of the alcohol....
onto the ribbon.
You may need to coax the alcohol a bit in the blending process
(by rubbing the tip of your dropper between the colors)
Watch as the colors blend into beautiful rainbows ~ MAGIC!
We did this on both sides of the ribbon once we realized it didn't bleed through and were so pleased with the results.

Now for the wand.
Take your twig and screw your eye hook into one end.
Thread your key ring into your eye hook.
Then take your ribbon, fold two inches or so over the key ring and glue it to the ribbon.
There you have it!
Let the dancing...
the twirling...
the running,
the whirling
and swirling...
Begin!
Happy trails my friends
