Watch as Better Homes and Gardens shows you how to make 4th of July decorations like this firecracker garland! No one will doubt your patriotic spirit with these 4th of July decorations proudly hanging along your walls. To make this garland, we are using Mason twine we found at a hardware store, along with metallic fringe, metallic tissue paper, gold and silver twist ties, crepe paper streamers, and colorful ribbon. Cut 2-inch strips from the metallic tissue paper, cutting toward the fold to make cutting it that much easier. Snip off the metallic fringe into individual pieces, and cut the crepe paper into 18-inch strips. The colored ribbon should be cut the same length as the crepe paper streamers, as well. To assemble the 4th of July crafts, pair a metallic strip with the crepe paper strip and tie them both onto the twine at the same time. Add ribbon and metallic twist ties to make it look as though the firework is exploding right before your eyes. Use the metallic fringe and silver twist ties to create smaller fireworks in between the larger ones for these festive, patriotic decorations. Crinkle the metallic tissue to give the garland an even more authentic feel, and feel free to get as creative as you please; there is no right way to create this! No matter where you hang these patriotic decorations, they're sure to bring some spark to your 4th of July!
