1
Cut a craft stick in half. Paint the two halves of the cut craft stick and a whole craft stick any color you'd like. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle glitter on top of the sticks.

2
Lay the whole craft stick in a vertical position. Glue the halves of the cut craft stick to either side of the bottom of the vertical stick forming a peace sign.

Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to encircle the piece sign. Place a dot of glue on each point of the peace sign and attach the ribbon to the glue, forming a circle around the sign.

4
Tie a length of yarn into a loop. Glue the loop of yarn onto the back of the peace sign near the top of the vertical craft stick.
