Does Elsa even have a wand? I don't think so, but DD#3 got a really fun birthday gift of a glittering snowflake cape and wand and this week I came to the rescue of the wand.
Here you can see how the ribbons had started to fray. One of them had frayed several inches.
First, I trimmed off all the frayed ends.
Then I held the ribbons over a burning wooden match, but didn't let the ribbon touch the flame. The heat of the fire melted the ribbon ends together, preventing future fraying.
Good as new! This is also a good trick for favorite hair ribbons, some decorations on fancy dresses, and where I learned the trick as a kid: ballet pointe shoes.
