I can not take credit for this cute idea but I'm going to put my own spin on it and put it out there for everyone looking to decorate a tiered tray or fill a bowl with decorations for summer and the Fourth of July. 

Supplies needed to make faux fireworks:

First gather the materials you will need for this project...

• scrapbook paper
• jute
• hot glue
• glitter glue
• bead stickers
• and wine corks

Be sure to visit the bold blue links for more information and the supplies I use for this project. 

Also please sign up for the Homeroad emails in the pop-up so I can send my next DIY tutorial straight to you! 

These are all supplies that are easy to find on Amazon or in the craft stores.

And, if you drink a lot of wine, you'll even have some supplies on hand! 

If you're not a wine drinker then you can also use the pre-made coin wrappers from the Dollar Tree.

Corks can also be purchased on Amazon. 

First I cut the scrapbook paper into strips the size of a cork. 

I chose colors and patterns that would work for the Fourth of July. 

I hot glued the scrapbook paper around the cork. 

Next I stuck a short length of twine into the hole at the top of the cork with hot glue. 

If there isn't a hole from the corkscrew then you can use a scissor to make a small hole. 

I decorated the firecracker with small strips of beads, strips of contrasting scrapbook paper, and a few with glittered card stock.

Next, I used inexpensive glitter glue to give a red tip to the fuse and to fill the top of the firecracker. 

I think they look adorable in a wooden bowl and they look great in my summer themed tiered tray with all the red, white, and blue projects.

A few years ago I made a giant firecracker that we used to decorate for the fourth of July all the time.
