STEP 1: The first step would be to put the screw eye hook into the end of the dowel. This does take a little man power, but you can easily screw the hook into the end of the dowel.

Wedding ribbon wands are incredibly easy to make and very budget-friendly, but they can be quite time-consuming. Make sure to block out at least two hours to assemble depending on how many you plan to make.

STEP 2: Next, you will want to attach the bells to the end of the dowel. I attached two bells per wand with the jump rings.

STEP 3: Last you will want to cut the ribbon into equal pieces (each of mine was roughly 12 inches in length) and tie them to the hooks.
