My Sis and I have been talking for years about making fire crackers for Christmas. Finally 5 years later, we were able to get to it. They are cute little crafts with candy or other goodies stuffed inside.
Here is how to make Christmas Firecrackers.
Supplies needed:
- Paper Towel Rolls
- Tissue Paper – The cuter the better with matching solid colors
- Candy to stuff inside
- Ribbon to tie them off
- Scissors
Cut the paper towel rolls into thirds, cut those pieces in half.
Now it’s time to get your tissue ready:
Measure it up. We folded the longest side three times, cut it and then folded that in half and cut it. That was length we liked, but maybe you want it longer or shorter.
Next it was time to put the goodies in middle:
Put your favorite or their favorite goodies in there. What about cute little figures, jewelry, chapstick it will be a nice surprise.
You can wrap the roll with tissue like the one above or you can layer papers so you see the different colors or different designs. There are so many cute designs on tissue paper these days.
These are so simple and you can make so many variations to it including every other holiday… Here are some of our Christmas Firecrackers:
They can be put on the tree, passed out to family, given to teachers and class room friends.
Those look so familiar. I wonder if I made them in school when I was little! Cute!
