Fourth of July Candy Container

This was a 10 minute craft... super easy !!
A fun craft to do with kids too!!

Firecracker candy (or snack) containers.

I'm filling them with popcorn and giving

them to my kids to keep them occupied as we

wait for the fireworks to begin.

If you are interested in making some you

will need....

Diagonal Striped Bigger Bittty Bags

Crystal Light containers

Glue sticks and hot glue

Scissors and an craft knife

Ribbons and trims

Cut the bag open length wise and wrap around the container.

Just make sure not to cover the lip at the top of the container.

If the lip gets covered the lid will no longer open easily.

Once the lid is covered poke a hole in the center to feed

a "wick" threw.

I would suggest adding a drop of glue to the ends of your

wick pieces. This will help them to hold their shape and keep

from unraveling. Also, tying a knot in one end will help

to stay secure.

Now one could get pretty crazy adding bits of trim or patriotic

novelties to these. I chose to keep mine pretty simple.

Just adding a few little trim pieces.

The best part about using the Crystal Light

containers for this craft is the "pop" noise they

make when they are opened.

This would be a fun craft to do with kids the morning

of the Fourth. Although, expect this ten minute craft to become

a slightly longer project.  ;)

Happy 4th of July!
