Procedure

Take a ribbon and measure 24-inch out of it. Cut it out using the scissor.

Completely wrap the dowel with the ribbon. On reaching the end of the dowel, cut out the remaining ribbon piece. Glue the end to the bottom of the dowel.
Make wand streamers by cutting varying lengths of ribbon and attaching the same on the dowel. Glue one end of the ribbon on the top of the dowel and leave the other end free.
At the free end of the streamers, attach the jingle bells or sequins. This will give your wand a very attractive look.
Take a small strip from the cardboard and paste it around the top end of the dowel. It should be pasted in such a way that it covers the ends of the ribbon.
