How do you make a Mermaid Starfish Wand?

Download, print and then cut out the Mermaid Starfish Wand pattern with scissors.

Trace starfish pattern once, flip over and trace the reverse starfish image a second time on craft felt with a marker.

Cut out all patterns with scissors, cutting inside the traced lines, so you have a clean finished project.

Outline and accent one of the Mermaid Starfish patterns with coordinating colors of glitter glue. Cluster dots in the center and then add a single row trailing out each starfish arm.
Set aside to allow glitter glue to dry.

Apply a line of hot glue down the center of the plain starfish and insert wooden dowel.
You can also use craft glue, but it will take time to dry. I also recommend if you are using a hot glue gun to use a low temp one.

Glue the embellished Mermaid Starfish on top.
Measure and cut a 24” and a 36” length of iridescent curling ribbon for each Mermaid Starfish Wand.

Tie the ribbons in a knot at the top of the wand just under the starfish, open scissors and gently curl the ribbon ends.
