These are a great option for children that are afraid of traditional sparklers or too small to handle them. And of course - those of us that are having a firework ban due to wildfires! It doesn't mean we can't have sparklers. :-)
You Will Need:
- Small wooden dowels about 14 inches long
- Wired star garland in solid or multiple colors
- Clear packing tape
- Red or blue cardstock cut to 2 in by 1 1/2 in
- Glue or glue dots
- Scissors
For each sparkler that you make, cut wire garland into 10 pieces. Make 5 each of 6 in long and 8 in long. Trim off the stars from the bottom of each piece about inch up. Line the pieces up on the cardstock and tape down.
Then add glue dots to the dowel at the top where the paper will attach. Attach the edge to the dowel and roll the remaining paper and wire around the dowel. Secure the end with more glue or glue dots.
Once secure, arrange the wire garland to look like a sparkler. Enjoy!
