Craft Instructions
1) One of the true signs of spring and summer is kids playing outside with bubbles! Bubbles are a fun way to get kids outside and active. One thing you need though, is a fun and creative bubble wand! Bubble wands can be purchased in all sizes and shapes, from large giant bubbles to small bubble clusters. Today we wanted to show you how you can make your own bubble wand with only two parts!
If you would like to make a smaller bubble wand, fold the pipe cleaner in half and create your loop at the bent end.
2) Onc
e you have your loops made, start adding your beads to the pipe cleaner. We used Pony Beads and Fun Shapes Pony Beads to add some fun shapes to our wand.
3) Add beads all the way up your handle, creating a fun and unique bubble wand just for you! Make sure you leave some extra pipe cleaner at the bottom. We will need that for the next step.
4) Now that all our beads are on our bubble wand, it’s time to tie the end. Make sure you have some of the extra end available and add one more bead. Move the bead up so it is part way between the last bead and the bottom of your bubble wand.
5) Finally, take the end of the pipe cleaner and wrap it around your bubble wand above the last bead you put on your wand. This will make sure your wand is tied and secured, keeping all of your beads in place.
Congratulations! You have just made your own, personal bubble wand. How many fun shapes and styles can you make? Do you have any beads you would add to your bubble wand? Maybe make one with your name on it using ABC beads?
