Oz The Great And Powerful Blu-Ray Combo Pack releases in a few short days, on June 11. If you didn’t catch it at the theaters, you simply must see it now. It’s all about how Oz made it to Oz! {grin} Oh, and there is a bit about the witches too. All three of them! {shudder}
I have to say, Disney really did a beautiful job. The colors and characters were amazing… and THE witch had my youngest peeking out from under his blanket. He made his dad come sit next to him. I was there, but I wasn’t enough. {smirk}
The girly in me though was struck by Glinda The Good Witch. Her dress, her crown, oh… and her wand! It was so simple, yet so beautiful!
I mean what girl doesn’t want a wand?! So I thought, why not make a few. Here’s what you’ll need to make an easy DIY candy wand:
- Marshmallows
- Pepperidge Farms Pirouette Rolled Wafers (these are French Vanilla!)
- Pure Cane Sugar
- White Icing
- Kitchen Scissors
And the simple how to for making your wands:
- Trim your marshmallows. Using kitchen scissors, cut each of the corners off your marshmallow so that it looks like a diamond. (TIP: Wash your scissors between each marshmallow or they’ll start to stick.)
- Add shine. Dip each edge (sticky sides) in pure cane sugar.
- Attach handle. Dip the end of the wafer in white icing and attach the wand tip. Allow to set for at least 10 minutes before you display.
Rather watch how I made these? Well you’re in luck because I made a little video. And while you’re there, I’d love for you to subscribe to my youtube channel. By the way, my eight year old was my camera man on this one because I couldn’t find the stand. That’s cute though… right?! {grin}
By the way, if you’re having a party, I would display in a 4″ or so tall clear (square if you have it) vase filled half way with more pure cane sugar. Once the wands are dry, just place them in, handle first, so all the good little witches at your party can grab them easily!

But I’m not done! I have another very fun tutorial for Oz The Great And Powerful.
When I was prepping for our “at home” movie viewing we made some adorable and easy Oz The Great And Powerful popcorn bags. Come see how to make these easy bags for this movie, or any Disney movie premier! {grin}
As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake, create and celebrate!
This post is brought to you by Disney and Blue Print Social, but all opinions are 100% mine. You know I’d have it no other way! Original idea created by Kim Byers and seen here on TheCelebrationShoppe.com first.
So easy and so fun! Love the video too! Your little guy did a fine job. :)
Thanks Kara! So glad you like them!
Super cute!! And loving the idea of the mini camera man! :)
Bird – thanks! He was in a bit of hurry to get outside and play, but he was sweet enough to stay with me for a take. ;)
How fun! I know my boys will LOVE to eat this clever treat.
Thanks Heather! My oldest kept stealing the sticks/rolled wafers and my youngest kept snitching the marshmallows. ;)
