Personalised Ribbon Wands

What a fabulous way to send off the bride and groom with these beautiful personalised ribbon wands that double as favors! A fantastic alternative to traditional confetti, bubbles, bird seed, petals, especiall as not many venues will not allow confetti. These wands are truly unique and look beautiful in pictures as each guest waves the colored ribbon when the bride and groom exit, and it is a wedding keepsake with your own printed message. Choose from a large variety of ribbon colors. The ribbon length is 66cm (26 inches). They are done with 15mm or 23mm ribbon so they stand out.

Here are the items you will need:

1. 15mm or 23mm Personalised Ribbon, (It takes approx. 66cm to make each wand- So 1×24m roll of personalised ribbon will make 35 wands)
1. one roll of gift wrap
2. dowels 12″-15″ (30-38cm) in length (plastic dowels are available from sugarcraft shops, or wooden dowels could be used)
3. 1 can of spray paint 4. styrofoam to fit the container you choose
5. a container- we used a round hat box.
6. hot glue gun and glue sticks
7. double sided sticky tape

To assemble:
1. spray your wooden dowels with the spray paint-let dry.
2. cut the ribbon into 66mm lengths.
3. tie ribbon onto ends of dowels- add a bead of hot glue to ensure it holds.
4. cover your container with gift wrap using double side sticky tape
5. cut styrofoam to fit into container
6. stick ribbon wands into the styrofoam
7. YOU’RE DONE- place them out for wedding guests (no more bird seed or confetti to clean up!)
