Firecrackers!

I saw firecrackers on Pick Your Plum a couple of weeks ago and knew I had to make some! I cut my wood different heights, sanded the ends, and drilled a hole in the top for the "fuse".

I decided I would mod podge mine instead of painting them. I cut my strips of paper just slightly smaller than the wood.

Simply mod podge them on {under the paper, and on top-for those of you who are new to mod podge} and let them dry! I put a layer of mod podge on the top face of the blocks, and stuck in a piece of jute twine. It will dry that way as long as you get some mod podge in the hole.

After they're dry, group them together and tie with twine. :)
