We made 600 last year and it took a few days<br /><br />.I started with a wooden dowel 12"long and 3/8 " in diameter.<br /><br />The grip is made from the stretchy medical gauze that adheres to itself.<br />We just wrapped it around the dowel as a grip.<br /><br />Then we painted them with acrylic paint. This is messy! We had to make 600 so this was quickest. If you are not making too many spray paint works too...but did I say messy???<br /><br />Then.....we dribbled hot glue on the tip to. Give it some texture.<br />Then .... we dry brushed gold or silver over a bit of the hot glue for color.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708198401057717499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175196499633013772.post-46008716544393845002013-09-27T14:48:54.066-04:002013-09-27T14:48:54.066-04:00Hi Jeff!

I know, I know...what is WITH that?? This looks like a really cool project you are working on though. 450 wands..holy cow! <br /><br />Love your Christmas tags! The embossing is such a great accent, along with that little pop of sparkle.

...Those are AMAZING wands. Sounds like a fun time.<br /><br />Your tags are just terrific. One can never have too many tags. For such a little tag, they really have a lot of fun details. Great job on the challenge. Thank you for playing along with The Paper Players this week!Tara Bilbaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614705498887023680noreply@blogger.com
