For a great fairy party idea, make Pixie Stix Fairy Wands. They make a wonderful party favor or kid party craft for a fairy birthday party, Tinkerbell party or Barbie Fairytopia party.

You can also use them as fairy party invitations. Simply write party details on the reverse side and hand deliver.

Pixie Stix Fairy Wands make an attractive centerpiece on your party table when grouped in a colorful vase, too.

How to Make Pixie Stix Fairy Wands

Materials:

Large (16 inch) Pixie Stix filled with candy powder (one for each party guest)
Shiny gold paper or gold card stock
Star shaped cookie cutter
Permanent black marker
Shiny gold curling ribbon
Gold glitter (optional)
Hot glue gun

1. Spread a double layer of the gold paper on a flat surface. (We cut up a large gold gift bag). A shiny finish will give the best look when completed. You can also use gold card stock and embellish with glitter. Tape the two layers together to keep them from slipping.

2. Place the star shaped cookie cutter onto the paper and trace the shape with the permanent black marker. Repeat for each fairy wand leaving at least one inch between each traced star shape.

3. Next, cut around each star about inch from the black line. This will make a larger star shape with the traced star in the center. Since you have two layers of paper, you will end up with two perfectly matching star shapes, for the front and back of your wand.

4. Write the name of the party guest inside the black traced star.

5. Sandwich the label end of a pixie stick between the two gold stars with the gold shiny sides facing out.

6. Hot glue the stars to the pixie stick. If you used the plain gold card stock, not is the time to jazz it up with gold glitter.

7. Measure 4 feet of gold curling ribbon and tie around the pixie stick below the star shape with a double knot. Curl ends with scissors if desired.

8. To display, place your finished pixie stix fairy wands in a decorative vase tied with a ribbon.

9. Hand out as party favors or write party details on the reverse side of the gold star and hand deliver as party invitations.

10. Tell party guests their wands are filled with magic pixie dust!

Variation: For the boys at the party, trace a different shape onto the gold paper, such as a crocodile, dinosaur, race car, or whatever favorites they may have. Browse the cookie cutters at your craft store for ideas.

I have a passion for the written word, and have been a freelance writer for many years. I enjoy growing my website, Kids Party Paradise, because it is like creating an ever-changing, ever-evolving online ?book? about a topic I enjoy - kids parties!

As a mother of three, I have plenty of first-hand knowledge about making kids party cakes and decorations, organizing games, making costumes, crafts, and party food, and more. I share much of this kid-focused information on Kids Party Paradise.com.

As a Work-at-Home Mom, my online endeavors not only satisfy my creative side and contribute to the family income, but it allows me to spend more time with my children.

I also trade on Ebay, a fun and fascinating venue to market just about anything. In addition to reselling various items, I buy and sell vintage and collectible children?s pop up books on Ebay. I have become an expert on this subject, simply by monitoring auctions each day and studying the popularity and marketability of various pop-up engineers and their work.

I am a devout Catholic and enjoy practicing and sharing my faith with others.

In the future, I plan to expand into more web sites based on my hobbies and interests.

I hope you enjoy reading my family-friendly articles and visiting my kids party site!
