I made them for our praise dance girls Saturday for the first time and they used them today for their worship dance. They are easy to make but burning the ends didn't stop them from splitting apart. But it still look good.
Instead of doing this, just get one on Amazon. You can even buy 2 wand for £5.98. They are high quality.I tried this and it broke in 2 hours even though I tightened it hard and sealed it.So just buy one.
