July 4th Mini-Firecrackers {and a Giveaway!}

June 18, 2013 By Shannah 17 Comments

July 4th decorating can be so fun!  You just can’t get much better than red, white and blue!  I had picked up one of the little wood packages from Pick Your Plum awhile back and used them to make these July 4th mini-firecrackers for the upcoming holiday.

Pssst…be sure to read to the end because there is a giveaway for your choice of $150 to Target, Home Goods or World Market that you will definitely want to enter at the bottom!

Creating these little firecrackers is super easy.  I used a pre-cut set from Pick Your Plum but, if you have scrap wood around, you can just cut it to three varying heights like you see.

I painted mine red, white and blue for the traditional July 4th colors.

The little kit came with a great star that I decided to paint gold to stand out against the other colors.

Then, I “tied” the whole thing together with some of my patriotic washi tape that I folded in half.

The little flames are just pieces of wire stuck into the tiny holes drilled into the tops of the pieces of wood.

.

Ok, so now, I have something that is going to set off fireworks for your summer…$150 gift card to either Target, World Market or Home Goods…winner’s choice!

      Thanks, Emily! It definitely is difficult to be stuck on crutches during summer. I hopefully it won’t be for too long.
