Here’s what you’ll need:
- Bamboo Skewers
- Red, white and blue scrap booking paper
- Glue dots
- Clear tape
- Double sided adhesive or glue stick
- Glitter glue
- Various patriotic colored ribbons
- Scissors
- DIY Patriotic Stars Template FREE Printable (access to the printable at bottom of post)
Print out the Patriotic Stars Template onto card stock paper and then cut out each star.
Decide which colors of paper you would like to use for the stars. Using the cut-out stars as your stencil, trace around the large star on the red, white or blue paper. Next trace the medium star and finally trace the small star. Cut out all stars.
Use the double sided adhesive or glue stick to assemble the stars. Adhere a medium star to the large star and then adhere a small star to the medium star.
After the stars are assembled you can add glitter glue to the small stars for some sparkle. Let dry completely.
Each star will need 3 patriotic ribbons of your choice. Cut ribbons into 9-10 inch strips.
Now you can begin attaching the ribbons to each star. Use a glue dot on each ribbon to secure the ribbon to the back of the star. Then place the bamboo skewer on top of the ribbons and secure with clear tape.
These Patriotic Star Wands are pretty and you can use them for your 4th of July holiday home decor. I added some red glass beads to a mason jar to make a patriotic arrangement for my kitchen table. Your kids will have fun using these star wands to wave at a parade (be sure to cut off the skewer tip before giving them to the kiddos! 😉 ).
Grab the DIY Patriotic Star Wand Template below in the Freebie Library and have the kiddos join you in making this fun and easy patriotic craft!
