The first thing I did was cut my Pool noodle into 6 separate pieces. I cut the pieces to varying sizes. Some were longer and some were shorter. You can use a knife to cut them. I went outside and cut mine with my chop saw. It made really even & clean cuts. The one below is a taller piece.

Next grab one piece of the pool noodle and lets start decorating it. For this one I used red and white ticking stripe fabric. To adhere the fabric to the pool noodle I used hot glue. I just glued and rolled until it was completely covered. Make sure that the fabric is nice and smooth while rolling it.

I trimmed the bottom fabric right up to the pool noodle, and the fabric that was on top I left longer.

I then stood the pool noodle up and cut the fabric that was left on top, into strips like this.

Now I took each strip of fabric and hot glued it down into the hole on the top. I kept going until the whole top was covered.

Now you have the pool noodle completely covered its time to decorate it. I couldn’t find any blue ric rac at my fabric store, so I got some white ric rac and painted it blue myself. I showed them!!! HAHAHAHA.

Once the ric rac was dry I took it and glued it to the top and bottom of my firework. Look how cute it is!!

I wanted to add a few more decorations so I decided to paint some half beads cream and red.

After the paint on the half beads was completely dry I glued them on top of the blue ric rac. I put 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom.

I wanted to wrap something else around the center of the firework and I decided a raffia bow would be the perfect thing. It gave it that extra punch of cuteness!!

For the Sparkler part of my firework, I got these darling RED,WHITE, and BLUE glittered floral pics from Dollar Tree. Using my wire snips I clipped pieces off of each one and stuck them down into the top. I can’t believe how perfect these glitter picks were for this part.

The last thing I added was a 12 inch dowel stick to the bottom, so I could stand my fireworks up. I just took some hot glue and glued it into place.

I made 3 different FIREWORKS and I love each one of them. I used all different fabrics and decorations. Have fun and make them your own. That is the best part of crafting!!!!! Look how cute they are in this small Milk Can. I couldn’t love them more!
