Write each guest's name on the Magic Color Scratch Wands using the enclosed wooden stick. It will reveal a colorful pattern that will show through the black. Have fun with it and add spider webs and doodle designs to each one.

Place a line of hot glue along one side of a purple striped paper straw and attach them to the back of each of the fairy wands. This will make the fairy wands sturdy so they don't flop over as the wands are made of a light-weight cardstock.
