Step 1: Gather materials-


Step 2: Wrap the glitter tape around the wooden dowel at an angle, to cover the entire stick. Secure with glue or tape at either end.

Step 3: Wrap a strip of glitter tape around the very edge of one of the ends of the dowel, sticking strips of mylar in a row to the tape before wrapping it all the way around.

Step 4: Thats it! Super simple and Tinkerbell approved.
