How To Make Patriotic Parade Wands
1. Cut out stars in three different sizes from construction paper and glitter paper. You would want different sizes of stars in different colours for the parade wands.
We used a star shaped cookie cutter in three different sizes. If you don’t have a star cookie cutter, simply use a pencil to draw three stars of different sizes.
2. Paste the star cut-outs of different colours on top of each other. Start with the biggest size and progress to smaller sizes.
3. Use hot glue or scotch tape to attach the skewer to the back of the star. In case you are using hot glue, make sure an adult uses the glue gun.
4. Lastly, curl the ribbons with scissors and paste them on the back of the stars to complete the patriotic parade wands.
