Ribbon Wands...has anyone made them? DIY HELP

You can use the wooden bbq kabob skewers. I found some in the super market for 100 for like 2.00.

We did dowels, sewed the ribbons together at one end, and glue-gunned them to the top of the dowel. Then we wrapped a little extra ribbon around the top to cover up the thread.

Thanks! I appreciate the help.

You can makes really nice ones if you purchace balloon sticks from Oriental Trading. Thyey are super cheap, just $12 for 144 of them. You just pull off the cup from the end of the stick and glue some ribbon onto the end. So cute.

Might be a silly question, but when are ribbon wands used? I've never seen them at a wedding before, but they are super cute and I really like them!

Not a silly question at all. They are used at the end of the ceremony as you exit. Or I suppose you can you use them when you toast. I plan to use ours at the end of our ceremony as we exit the gazebo in lieu of rice or birdseed.

Just saw the oriental trading company post! Thanks so much. I'll buy those in the multi-color instead of cutting and painting dowels!!

Dana, here's an imagine I came up with on ribbon wands for a wedding.

Thank you so much Tammy! I love that idea! Never was a big fan of the bubbles or birdseed or anything like that (nothing wrong with that, but I want something different)... Thank you tho, I love that pic! Good luck!

We had both ribbon wands and noisemakers for the recessional - it was a big hit, and a lot of guests carried their ribbon wands to the reception and kept them tucked into their pockets, etc.

Wow!!! I like this idea.

I'm doing bubbles...
