I wanted to create some cute and simple 4th of July party favors this year… Just imagine how fun these SPARKLER FAVOR TUBES would be at a BBQ; or how about handing them out to all the kiddos in your clan at the parade or firework show? Follow the easy tutorials below by using a few inexpensive items from my shop and the dollar store. These favors can be made with little money and hardly any time at all!
Supplies needed: Clear plastic gumball tubes– Available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop for only $1.25 here Red bakers twine– Available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop here Red burlap/jute ribbon– Available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop here USA Flag Picks– Available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop here Matchboxes- Dollar Store Sparklers- Dollar Store Smoke Bombs- Dollar Store I dressed up the matchboxes in two different ways. I used flag picks and regular cardstock for the first set. To find out how to create the fun ribbon type gift topper follow the tutorial below…
STEP ONE- Cut the sticks off of the flags.
STEP TWO- Glue the flags one by one on top of each other, alternating the orientation between each one.
STEP THREE- Attach the flag ribbon strip to your matchbox {or anything you want} and cut off the end.
I also made cute little pinwheels out of regular flag picks. Learn how by following the tutorial below…
STEP ONE- Cut the stick completely off the flag and cut the end of the flag off so you have a miniature square. STEP TWO- Starting at all four corners, cut a straight line into the center of the square {but not all the way}, leaving a small un-cut space in the center of the square. STEP THREE- Fold every other corner into the center of the square.
STEP FOUR- Attach the cute miniature pinwheel to the end of a match with hot glue.
These next sparkler favor tubes were made a little differently. These ones have more of a vintage feel to them, which I love.
