Description
Create enchanting DIY Garden Fairy Wands using twigs and backyard treasures for imaginative play or garden decorations.
Ingredients
- Foraged twigs (straight-ish, thumb-thick)
- Floral tape (or washi tape)
- Ribbons (sheer, satin, or recycled fabric strips)
- Pressed flowers, feathers, acorns
- Hot glue gun (or biodegradable craft glue)
- Scissors
Instructions
- Find Your Wand’s “Bone”: Hunt for a sturdy twig (12-18” long). Peel off loose bark or sand rough spots.
- Create the Handle: Wrap floral tape around one end in a spiral (like a unicorn horn!). Overlap ribbons for grip + flair.
- Adorn the Tip: Hot-glue treasures to the top: Flower crown: Arrange tiny blooms in a cluster; Feather charm: Let it dangle like a magic pointer; Acorn cap: Fill with glitter for a “fairy dust” reservoir.
- Ribbon Rain: Tie 3-5 ribbon strands (12-18” long) to the base. Trim ends diagonally for fluttery movement.
- Bless Your Wand: Optionally sprinkle with “fairy dust” (glitter) or spritz lavender water for extra magic!
Notes
- Foraged bling: Use fallen petals/leaves (avoid harming living plants!)
- Weatherproof: Coat with mod podge if using outdoors
- Kid-friendly: Swap hot glue for pipe cleaner wraps
