We are making diy bubble wands today to go along with our latest Birthday Girl Doll Collection inspired by the ever so popular American Girl Dolls.

If you missed our American Girl Doll inspired styled photoshoot, click here to see the full party details!  We created this party for our sweet client Yolanda, from Kiss Me Kate while she and her family were visiting us from Australia.

In keeping with the American Girl theme, we wanted to show you a great way to create this American classic,  Bubbles with a DIY Bubble Wand.  This bubble wand is simple to make and economical as well.  It is the perfect party favor or even just a fun kid’s craft.

———————————-

Supplies needed:
Wire (we used a coat hanger, because we love to recycle – but any floral wire will work as well)
Beads
Needle Nose Pliers
Spray Paint (if you want an extra pop of color)

Directions:

1. Untwist coat hanger and create star shape (starting at halfway point of wire)
2. Bend wire every inch to create 5 points
3. Twist at bottom of star to connect wires (cut off one of the wires to shorten twist)
4. Spray paint wire (both sides)

5. Pick various beads and add to desired length (I made this wand about 8″ long)
6. Once beads are in place, bend wire up to create a loop at the end of the wand.  (Metal hangers are difficult to bend but are sturdy…. If you want a child to do this by themself, I would use a thinner wire).

7. Use our drink wrap from our Birthday Girl Doll Collection, to wrap around an inexpensive bottle of bubbles!  You can even use a party logo to tie onto the wand for a cute added detail!  Make sure you pick beads with holes that are big enough for the wire!

Don’t forget to make a miniture one for your dolls!
