Halloween Wand or Centerpiece...you decide!

We made a magic wand a while back on No Time For Flash Cards and my son has been asking for a new wand. So with these pre-cut pumpkin doilies we picked up at the dollar store and some left over ribbon we made a pretty cool little wand. If you like, it could be used for a Halloween decoration too. Pop it in a flower pot ( if you live someone dry... we do not) or stick it in your autumn centerpiece!

1. Gather your materials. You will need a wood dowel, 2 pumpkin doilies or paper cut out in the shape of pumpkin, a black marker, double stick tape and some orange and black ribbon.

2. Start by making a happy jack-o-lantern face on your pumpkin.

3. If you want you can draw another face on the other pumpkin feel free, my son asked to do a sad face on this one.

4. Using double stick tape tape the dowel to the inside of one pumpkin. I put a few strips of tape to make sure it was strong.

5. Add your ribbon bow.

6. Decorate or play your choice.

Excellent post, look forward to reading more of your articles. jack wills
