How to Make a Twirling Ribbon

The story is simple, and it went a little like this… her sweet little girl was wanting a twirling ribbon to dance and play with, but they were a bit pricey! So… she made one! Now you can, too!

It’s so simple, and you’ll be done in a snap…

What You’ll Need:

1 Wooden Dowel: I used one that was 7/16″ x 12″
2 yards of 1″ ribbon
Craft Paint
Small Sponge Applicator for painting

What You’ll Do:

Paint the wooden dowel, and let dry. Don’t forget ~ old yogurt containers make great painting cups… and a plastic cup can be used to help the rod dry without getting everything all smudgy! 😉

Now go grab your ribbon, and either some super glue or you can use the hot setting on your hot glue gun.

Glue the ribbon onto the dowel {about the first inch and a half, or so} then let dry…

All done! Now give this to your little cutie… it’s time for some twirling!!

I wanted to snap some fun twirling shots, but what you need to understand is… I live in a man’s world.

That’s right ~ hubby and 2 boys, and none were too fond of twirling around the yard with a pink ribbon. Weird, I know. 😉

So… here’s the best I got… but I know you’ll get the idea. Dance. Play. Twirl. Repeat.

{this would also make a fun, thrifty gift, too!}
