Rocket Style Firework

Create rocket style fireworks from felt by folding the top into a cone and gluing down.Cut Ric Rac into 5.5″ – 8″ lengths. Gather three strands and knot at the top. Glue to cone.Glue rocket base together along long side to form a tube. Glue stripes or stars onto base.

Apply glue to top rim of rocket base and glue rocket top into place. Repeat with remaining rocket style fireworks, set aside.

Stop by the shop: 

Exploding Firework

Place a thin line of glue along the top of one of the exploding firework rectangles. Stack a second color rectangle on top and another line of glue. Finish with last color felt rectangle.Cut slits into felt rectangles, roll and glue.

Repeat until you have 6 pieces, set aside. You will assemble the fireworks after we thread the garland.

Stick Style Firecracker

Stack 3 black rectangles with felt glue between the layers allow to dry. Cut into wicks.Glue wick to one end and tightly roll the firecracker glue seam down with hot glue.Thread an extra large needle with your cord or twine. Knot and loop one end to hang your garland.Run the cord or twine through two stars as shown. Next run the needle through the top of the rocket just under where the glue is. Add star then run the needle through the back of of the firecracker sticks.Add another star, repeat pattern (rocket, star, firecracker, star until you get to the end when you finish with two stars.

Space out your garland to make room for the exploding fireworks before each of the stick firecrackers. (rocket, star, explosion, firecracker, star)Place twine between two exploding fireworks and hot glue the pieces together.

These felt fourth of July motifs can be placed in any order on the garland but I made mine as -star, star, rocket, star, explosion, firecracker, star, rocket, star, explosion, firecracker, star, rocket, star, explosion, firecracker, star, star.

Happy Crafting
