Let me introduce you to Sequined Swizzle Sticks.

Let’s get started!

Supplies:

3 yards – 1/4″ Flat single strand sequins
1 – 3/16×36″ Wooden Dowel cut into 6″ pieces
6 – 20mm Wooden Round Beads
Hot glue gun

Step 1:

Slide one wooden bead onto the end of each 6″ cut wooden stick.

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.

Step 3:

Continue to work your way down the bead applying hot glue in a spiral followed by sequins.

Step 4: When you’ve come to the bottom of the bead, cut sequin strand.

Step 5: Allow glue to dry completely and stir away!
