Sequin Firecracker Decorations

I have a great 4th of July craft that I want to share!  There is nothing more frugal than being able to turn toilet paper tubes that would normally land in the trash can into glamorous and glitzy firework decorations for the 4th of July.  You won't believe how easy they are to create!

Here's a few photos:

Okay.. Okay.. I know! It's a lot of pictures but I just couldn't help it! They turned out so pretty and shiney :)

So save your empty TP tubes and grab some red, white and blue sequins... it's time to make some sparkly firecracker decorations!!

See the sequin firecracker tutorial!

My friend Sunny sent me these cute toilet paper tube butterflies!  Aren't they sooo cute?!  She also made the chalkboard in the background. Notice the cute matching butterfly cutout in the top pic.  Can you guess how she made this chalkboard?  Chalkboard Contact Paper!!!!   Yes, that's right... contact paper and no messy paint :)  I'm not opposed to the chalkboard paint.. I think it's really neat but I can hardly wait to make some chalkboard crafts of my own with this chalkboard contact paper.  I will update this post with the tutorial for the TP butterflies as soon as she posts it.

Thanks for stopping by and thank you, Sunny for sharing your cute crafts!
