While you’re celebrating the Fourth with family and friends, take the opportunity to brighten their day with these fun gratitude fireworks!
Step 1
Collect your supplies, download and print our free fireworks pages and trim off the white space.
Step 2
Make accordion folds longways, and space them evenly about an inch apart.
STEP 3
Using your pen or marker, write something you’re grateful for along each of the folds on the back of the firework.
Step 4
Staple the folded paper in the middle, parallel to the edges and cut the edges at an angle.
Step 5
Fan the stapled page into a circle so that both ends meet, then tape the edges to hold it in place. Repeat these steps with all of the pages.
Step 6
Tape a skewer to each of the paper fireworks and assemble them into a bouquet, or glue your fireworks to a ribbon and hang them as wall art!
STEP 7
Remember all of the things you are grateful for when you look at your gratitude fireworks!
