You can create lots of different variations of this Easy Valentine’s Day Fairy Wand Craft.

The wand above is made with different colored pipe cleaners to make it stripey. I then used card, instead of stickers, for the heart at the top and added a photo of my daughter to personalize it. She was delighted!
