Toilet Paper Roll July 4 Rockets, Firecrackers Tutorial and the 4th of July Decorated Tree

Here's what you'll need:

- empty toilet paper rolls

- decorative paper(s) of your choice (art paper, wrapping

   paper...I used a gift bag)

- bamboo skewers

- Christmas tinsel

- glue  ( used Elmer glue sticks and hot glue)

- scissors

To make the firecrackers in the last photo,

I added an extra piece of lightweight cardboard to 

one end of the TP tube; 

 a wired piece of blue yarn serves as a "fuse"

(could also use a pipe cleaner).

For table decorations,

give them a little extra something by wrapping

candy treats in tissue paper or a twist tie bag,

 then insert in open end of rocket or firecracker

...and...

here's what they look like as a tree decoration 



Have a safe and happy Holiday!!
