Thyme for salt dough stars and firecrackers

I posted this picture several weeks ago
of

some salt dough stars I had made

I

FINALLY

finished painting them!

I painted them

red,white,and blue

I put some on my tree

that is

on the buffet in dining room

I also made some

FIRECRACKERS

I took 3/8" dowels

and cut them into

3 1/2" lengths

and painted them black

I then painted over the black

first paint about 3" of the dowel white

then

paint about 1/2' a navy blue

paint red stripes over the white

REMEMBER

these are suppossed to be

PRIM

so don't worry about exact lines!

drill a hole in top and add some twine

BANG!!!!!!!!

Aren't these great?

I also made up some bags of  bowl fillers

with the stars and firecrackers

I found the tutorial to make

the

FIRECRACKERS

from

Char

at

The Pickled Pepper Patch

Thanks Char!

Here is the centerpiece I have

on my dining room table

Happy Painting!
