Rainbow Week: DIY Rainbow Wands

This week we are celebrating all things rainbow! We have had a lot of rainbow requests lately, so we thought it would be fun to share some DIY inspiration for your next rainbow party! Our friend and DIY corespondent, Katie had a super sweet rainbow princess party for her little Siena's 4th birthday party this past weekend! We thought it would be great to share some of the DIY projects she created for the party! We love these cloud and rainbow wands she made for all of the little girls to take home! Material:
Scissors
Hot glue gun/glue (if you would like a more finished edge, you could sew around the cloud edges instead of using hot glue)
Glittered white felt (plain white would do just fine too)
Stuffing
Extra long lollipop sticks
1/4" red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple ribbon cut to about twice the length of your lollipop stick
Place two pieces of felt together (If you are using glittered felt, place wrong sides together). Draw a cloud shape onto the felt and cut it out.
Put a thin line of hot glue just along the edge of one cloud piece, leaving a 2 inch opening at the bottom. Place the other cloud piece on top and stick together. After the glue is dry, fill the cloud with stuffing.
Gather your ribbon pieces together and tie them in a knot around the top of your lollipop stick.
Place a dab of hot glue on the knot and stick it inside your cloud. Close up the bottom of your cloud with a little more hot glue and you are finished!
