For the Triple Star or Triple Square Wand:

• If making the triple star wand, cut three large stars and three small stars. Repeat for each wand you want to make. Cut white paper stars or use the scrapbook paper for an even more patriotic look.
• If making the square wand, cut out three small stars. In addition, cut three 3 x 3" squares from the scrapbook paper. Repeat for each wand you want to make.
• Glue the smaller stars onto the larger stars (or squares) using the Elmer's school glue. Set aside until fully dry.
• Once fully dry, decorate using glitter glue, ribbons or in any other way you like.

• Attach your wands pieces. Apply glue only to the left and right edges making sure to leave both the top and bottom edges unglued and open.
• Pinch one edge together for a few minutes or until glue sets slightly.
• Add a small dollop of glue to the 3rd star or square and attach the straw or dowel rod.

• Glue the remaining outer pieces to each other to create a "tent" around the straw.
• Add three 6" pieces of ribbon to the straw and tie to the dowel to secure.
• Set aside and allow to fully dry before using.

For the Double Star Wand:

• Cut two 5" circles, 2 large stars, one 3" circle and one 4.5" circle from the PDF pattern. Cut white paper stars or use the scrapbook paper for an even more patriotic look.

• Attach double sided tape to the back of one circle and affix a straw.
• Add two more pieces of tape across the straw then add glue to the back of the circle.
