Paper Firecrackers

The only firecrackers we will be seeing this Fourth of July are these little paper ones.  We are officially under a county wide fire ban so that also means no city fireworks display either.  I decided we had to have something for the little ones so I put these together.  Inside each firecracker there are snappers, sliders and a champagne popper inside a medium Cello Bag.  They were quite simple to put together too.  I used a piece of 4 1/2 in. x 5 1/2 in. DSP with a strip of  white tissue paper snailed to the top.  I then added a piece of Sticky Strip on one side to keep them shut.  The flame is a leaf cut from the leaves die with the edges sponged in Tangerine Tango Ink.  To finish them off I added little tags with their initials and some of the fabulous new Real Red Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon.  



Have a great Monday.

These are just super cute! Maybe Gavin won't be quite so bummed if he has something to make a little noise!
