DIRECTIONS:
To find the downloadable patterns click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above.
  1. Print the template out and choose the shape you want to make your bubble wand.
  2. Start bending the chenille stem into the desire shape, leaving 2" free at the end. Lay the chenille stem onto the paper to help guide your bends. Once you meet back up to where you started, twist to secure the shape and set aside.
  3. Twist two chenille stems together, starting at one end and stopping 3.5" from the other end.
  4. Bend the end that is fully twisted into a 1" loop and secure the end around the stem to hold in place.
  5. The end with the 2 untwisted pieces is where you will connect the shape.
  6. Pull the two stem pieces apart and place the shape where the twist stops, holding the extra lengths from the shape down the stem.
  7. Use the 3.5" pieces from the stem to twist around the loose ends, securing the shape to the stem.
  8. For the flower shape, use one of the 3.5" pieces to make the center circle and the other will be bent around the stem.
