Paper Roll Firecrackers Cricut Craft

Thank you for sharing!

Paper Roll Firecrackers are so much fun to make and beautiful to look at. Celebrating the 4th of July is just fun all around!. I always try to make something just a little different to celebrate and decorate with. I hope you like my Paper Roll Firecrackers Cricut Craft.

Paper Roll Firecrackers

As a crafty Mamma, I can see stuff that can be recycled and become beautiful and be used in another way.

When I saw these paper rolls from the paper towels and the wrapping papers, I knew they would become something else. So I kept them.

When I thought about the 4th of July, I said, that’s it! Those paper rolls are going to be awesome!

I made a plan, did a little research, checked my craft materials and tools, and made a design. My Cricut machine is going to be busy again.

Hmm. I think I’m going to include making the Red White and Blue Cupcakes for the celebration. Yes. I definitely will bake them!

Making the Paper Roll Firecrackers

This is NOT a real firecracker. I am expecting that you already know that. Did I disappoint someone? LOL!

Kids can help with this craft, because this is very easy and fun to do.

Paper Roll Firecrackers

Making this is quite easy and materials are easy to find. If you weren’t able to keep those paper rolls, get your paper towel rolls now and get those core out! Lol!

Have your supplies and tools ready. You can see the list below.

Have the designs into your Cricut Design Space.  Follow the instructions below.

Instructions

Download the cut file and upload it to Cricut Design Space. Follow the prompts to cut the stars and stripes from the white sticker paper.

Cut your paper roll into 3 non-equal lengths, taking care to make the ends clean cuts so the rolls will stand mostly on their own.

Paint the upper third of each paper roll blue. Allow paint to dry completely.

How to make

Paint the lower ⅔ of each paper roll red. Allow paint to dry completely.

Place the cut stars on the blue area of the paper rolls and the stripes on the red area, running vertically. 

How to make

Cut your floral wire into 3 pieces.

Slide one floral wire into the top of one paper tube and hot glue it in place with about 3 inches sticking up.
