1. 

   

   Cut dowel rod to 12". Screw in very small eye hook on top edge.
   
   Paint opposite edge desired color so the wood doesn't show at the bottom of the wand.

2. 

   

   Cut tulle to desired length (I used about 10 feet). Cut in half lengthwise (into two 3" strips if using 6" width tulle).
   
   Holding one white sparkle and one light pink strip together, wrap pompom maker (or card). I used a Clover pompom maker, but there are lots of easy ways to make poms.
   
   Tie pompom closed with 25" length of light pink ribbon.




3. 

   

   Trim pompom if necessary.

4. 

   

   Working in sections, paint glue onto dowel rod and wrap light pink ribbon in a spiral around the dowel, leaving no more than a 1/4" gap (if using 1/4" ribbon).




5. 

   

   Again working in sections, paint the gaps with glue and wrap dark pink ribbon in the spaces.
   
   At the bottom, either hold ribbon in place until glue dries or use a dab of super glue to keep the bottom from unraveling.

6. 

   

   Thread ribbon dangling from pompom, a 25" length of dark pink ribbon and a 25" length of white sparkle ribbon through the eye hook and double knot very tightly.

7. 

   Adjust pompom until satisfied with the look. Trim ribbons to desired length. Let glue dry.
