Sweet Tart Fireworks

*Sweet Tart Rolls I used 8
*Paper or Fabric of your choice cut into 4×8 inch rectangles
*Jute cut 6 strands of the Jute 6 inch lengths glue to the top of sweet Tarts Roll
*Embellishments: Ribbons, Buttons, Brads and any other things you would like to add
*Double Sided Tape
*Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
*Awl
*Scissors

Roll paper around each Sweet Tart. I used the double sided tape to attach and then I hot glued the edge. You should have extra paper at the top and bottom. Fold the bottom into each other like the Sweet Tart end is folded. On the top put a dab of glue to the top of Sweet Tart and and stick in the ends of the 6 strands of Jute into the glue squirt in more glue and close the paper up around the jute strands.

You can tie 3 together to make a bundle. Wrap Jute around all three made Fireworks and wrap around 3 times with the Jute and tie in the front.

I used this Sizzix to cut out the stars and used an awl to put a small hole in them to add the brad and then I hot glued them to the Firework.

Be careful not to burn yourself with this project.

*Double Sided Tape

Wrap each cut out piece of paper and wrap around each Smartie and tape the edges together.

I’m going to be using these at our Fourth of July Dinner at each place setting. You could use this for place card Firework.

I hope you will make some too.

Father’s Day being Sunday we are having a Nautical Father’s Day Dinner but you could use them at any nautical/beach party.

What I’m planning to do with these message in the bottles is to have a question in them (written on brown paper) that each child/person can ask their Dad a question on anything they would like, so they can learn more about their Dad.

You ask your children/guests what they would like to learn about their dad or his growing up years or just make up questions and write them on the paper and put them in the bottles and then at your dinner have each child/person ask their Dad the questions.

Making Bottles:

These bottles I bought at Michaels. You can find jute in craft stores along with the shells. I’m sure you could find similar bottles and shells other places.

You could use hot glue and attach the jute to the bottles. I just wrapped the jute around the
bottles and tied at the tops with a knot. Add any nautical items, stars for starfish, shells or any embellishments you would like to add.

Inside bottles I used:

*Cookie Fish: I was hoping the fish would of fit in the smaller bottles too, but they only fit the large bottle.

*Sugar Sand: I used the white sugar for the sand (or you could use raw sugar) for more a brown look for the sand.

*Cookie Shells: I used round cookie ball candy for the Shells and I had to cut them in half to fit into the bottles. I wanted the decor in the bottles to be edible.

*The funnel is used to put the sugar in the bottles.

I bought the cookie balls and cookie fish at the dollar store.
