    Step 2:

    Holding swizzle stick by the base, apply a small round of hot glue to the top of the wooden bead and attach a strand of sequins. Working in a clockwise-spiral direction, apply hot glue in a tight circle around the top of the bead and follow with sequins strand. Press lightly to adhere.

      OMG so much fun! I want a cocktail right now just so I can stir (or swizzle?! is that the proper terminology) something.

        Haha! I think the term would still be "stir" but the stick itself is called a swizzle stick. No idea why!
