Instructions
Cut foil squares to wrap around the paper towel tube ends. You want 3-4 layers on each side. Glue foil squares to one end, then secure with masking tape.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of rice to tube.
Seal the end of tube with foil and tape as in step 1.
Cut a piece of black glitter foam long enough to wrap around the end of the tube and glue in place. Cut a circle large enough to cover the end of the tube and glue in place.
Paint rainbow colors on the other end of the paper towel tube.
After the paint dries, glue ripped and fluffed up cotton balls onto the end of the tube.
Add glue above the black glitter foam around the tube. Sprinkle gold glitter onto the glue then allow the glue to dry.
String gold bells onto a gold pipe cleaner. Wrap the pipe cleaner around the tube and glue in place towards the top of the black glitter foam piece.
Your Rainbow Shaker Wand is finished. Enjoy your easy peasy St. Paddy’s Day kids craft.
