I just got my 4th of July decorations down from the attic and I’ve been busy working on plans for our 4th of July party.
I remember seeing these 2×2 wooden firecrackers around blogland last year, but I never got around to making them. Then I saw Nap Time Crafts post with hers and decided I would go dig through my wood stash to make my own. I didn’t take step-by-step pics, but these are super simple to make.
I used 2×2 scraps of wood I had left over. I cut them 7″, 6″ and 4.5″. I painted them red, white and blue with paint I had on hand. I used a combination of vinyl, stickers, ribbon and sparkly stars to decorate them.
Then I drilled a small hole in the top; cut and wrapped wire to create the fuse (I originally had them straight, but they didn’t stand out like I wanted them to so I made them curly-q.)
I made 2 sets because my sister keeps giving me a hard time when I make stuff and don’t make anything for her.

They turned out great… I love decorating with the red – white and blue! Vicki

Ah, I love these. I've got to go find myself some scrap wood. I always forget about decorating for Independence Day and this idea is so creative.
As always, Mariah, you are so creative!! Love it! Thanks for sharing on our first ever link up! ~Abbey at DimplePrints!
