Dazzling DIY 4th of July Fireworks Decorations (Water Bottle Crafts)
DIY Fireworks Decorations Made From Water Bottles
Learn how to make these fun, safe dazzling DIY 4th of July Fireworks Decorations out of repurposed water bottles. These make a great DIY 4th of July centerpiece for your party or cookout! They are so easy to make and it could be a fun project for kids.
Add LED lights to the center of each firework to illuminate the DIY fireworks decorations. I like to use multicolored battery operated fairy lights that blink to make them more like flashing fireworks. They look great after dark because the lights make them come alive.
This is a quick and easy project to make by using reused water bottles, lollipop sticks and acrylic paint. I like to make a simple Styrofoam base decorated with patriotic ribbon to hold the decorative fireworks. I like to use Multi-Surface Acrylic Paint because it can be painted on plastic without flaking off over time.
Materials:
- Water Bottles (clean and dry)
- Multi-Surface Acrylic Paint (red, white, blue and gold)
- Colorful Glitter Glue (I used confetti color)
- Lollipop Sticks or Wood Dowels
- Styrofoam Base
- Decorative Ribbon
- LED Lights
- Hot Glue Gun
- Craft Scissors
