- 1). Varnish the dowel and set aside to dry according to the instructions of the product you've chosen to use. Drying will take anywhere from an hour to a day, depending on the weather. It takes longer to dry on a humid or rainy day.
- 2). Measure out the length of ribbon to anywhere from 12 to 20 feet. If a smaller child is using this you might want to experiment with what he can handle.
- 3). Cut off a 4-inch length of the colored duct tape and set it aside. Duct tapes now come in a wide variety of colors are an excellent adhesive.
- 4). Take an end of the ribbon and wrap its width around the dowel about an inch below the dowel's end.
- 5). Wrap the duct tape around the ribbon end of the dowel covering the ribbon completely and leaving an additional one and a half inches of duct tape on wood. Wrap evenly and tightly to keep the ribbon stick attractive.
