Marsha's Creekside Creations: 4th of July Sparkler Box Place Cards

I'm sharing a super easy craft today: my 4th of July sparkler place cards. Imagine your upcoming holiday meal with these special place cards for your family and friends.

This is fun craft project that doesn't require

a lot of supplies or too much time, either. I'll

walk you through the project with

detailed pictures....BUT, it's just like

wrapping a little package.

SUPPLIES: You will need a couple of sheets of scrapbook paper. Red of some type and blue of another. They can be solids, stripes, dotted--whatever you might have on hand or what is available at your local craft store (sheets are usually 50 cents). You can decorate about 4 boxes per sheet of scrapbook paper. Next, you will need sparklers and their boxes. You'll need craft ribbon, paper tape or wasabi tape and stickers or embellishments. You may want to use embroidery floss or ribbon, too.

TOOLS: A paper trimmer (if you have one-not necessary, though, if you don't have one-use a ruler to measure), scissors, and double-sided adhesive tape or a tape runner.
THE STEPS: It is just like wrapping a package!!!

Cut your paper. You decide how much

of the box of cover in the red.

Empty the box of the sparklers.

Apply two lines of adhesive to the wider side of the box.

One line of adhesive on the smaller sides.

Then, you just start wrapping the box.

Add some adhesive tape to the last bit

of the paper before finishing the "wrapping."

When you get ready to fold the ends, you might want to cut a little slit in the paper to make it easier to fold (depending on the thickness of the scrapbook paper).
