Fairy wands!

 I've got a whole stack of the Kaisercraft Magic Happens range, as my friend Michele, who runs my local Scrapbooking store, Scrapbooking Shenanigans gave me a pack to make some samples up for her store.
Looking at the papers, especially the foiled papers in the 6x6" paper pad, how could I not make some fairy wands? 

For these I used the Kaisercraft Star album (it comes with 4 stars in the pack) and a length of dowel, which I cut to about 30cm lengths.  I painted the edges of the stars with gold paint, and then used modpodge to stick them each to a piece of the foiled paper.

 I trimmed these out with my craft knife, and then turned them over, and did the same again on the reverse.  I used plainer papers for the back, but I still wanted them to look pretty!

 Using some 10mm grosgrain ribbon, I made them into corkscrew curls.  I'll post a tutorial on here another day soon on how to make corker ribbons and bows, so watch this space! It's dead simple, and so effective! 

 I trimmed the ribbon to length, and then sewed 4 pieces together at the top.

 Using a sheer organza ribbon with a sparkly silver stripe, and satin edging, I wrapped the handle of the wand, leaving some dangly ribbon at the top. Using hot glue, I stuck the corker bunch to the back of the wand, and then the stick on top of that. 

 To finish each slightly differently, I used the chipboard die cut shapes, and some rhinestones to decorate them.

 A little spritz of glimmermist on the ribbons to make them sparkle a bit, and a smear of kindy glitz here and there on the chipboard shapes, and I was done!

Most projects I don't get too attached too, but it was hard to part with these guys! I love how they look!
Hope you like them too!
