Fireworks Display

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial for a cute 4th of July Fireworks Display (SVGSilhouette) These fireworks are so fun and simple to make. They can be added to a vase, mason jar, or even a fake potted plant like I did here.

First fold all of the score lines as mountain folds (away from you). Then glue the decorative panels in place. (I glued the long side tab first and then glued the decorative panels which made this step a little harder for myself.) Glue the long side tab creating a octogon shaped tube. Working from left to right glue the top tabs together until you have two tabs left. The last two tabs can be glued together at the same time. Pinch the top points together then flip the firework over and use a pencil or paint brush handle to secure the tabs on the inside of the firework.

Now its time to embellish the firework, curl the tails, then using hot glue add a paper straw or bamboo skewer to the inside of the firework.

I resized the firework and made two smaller ones. The paper collection I used is America by Echo Park Paper Company.

That’s it for me today. Thanks for stopping by!

4th of July Party with Lori’s New Sizzix Dies

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today here to share a fun 4th of July Party set I created using Lori’s new Sizzix Dies!  Take a peek…

I started with the new Hello Doily Sizzix Thinlets Set to make my banner.  I simply layered two of the doilies and folded them over a piece of twine to create the banner.  It would be so cute in a doorway or along a table edge!

Next I set together to make some fun serving items.  I used the oh so versatile Mix and Match Flowers Thinlets to decorate some serving items including the napkin holder, the bucket and Straw…

The label on the milk bottle is from the new Perfect Labels Thinlets Set, I thought it would be good to let folks label their drinks to keep the bottles from getting mixed up!  The butterflies on both the bottle and the bucket can be found in the Butterfly Lantern Thinlets Set.  I think this might be my favorite set!  Check out the adorable little lantern you can make using it!

You can fit a tiny electronic tea light into the lantern, to light up your night time table!  That’s it for me today, make sure to check out all of Lori’s Sizzix Dies over on the Sizzix Website here.  You won’t be disappointed!

 
Papers Used:

Echo Park Pinstripes
Echo Park Petticoats
Echo Park Little Man
