Start July off with a BANG!

By melwilson Wednesday July 1, 2009

When I started thinking about this post, I knew I wanted to do something festive. I immediately turned to Kelleigh’s section of the store to browse. I knew when I saw the tri-tube exactly what I would do…firecrackers!

Here’s what you’ll need…

Kelleigh’s Tri-Tube template
digi papers, I used Backyard Barbeque
Epson Matte Presentation Paper
Cutter Bee scissors
1/8″ hole punch
adhesive
festive appetizer picks
ribbon

I opened Kelleigh’s templates and some papers from my newest kit, Backyard Barbeque, available tomorrow in my store. I simply clipped the papers on the templates and we were ready to print. Kelleigh makes everything so easy by formatting her templates so that they print perfectly on letter size paper. I printed the templates on Epson Premium Matte Paper. I cut them out with my Cutter Bee scissors and scored on the score lines. Before I put everything together, I used my hole punch to make a hole (1/8″) at the top of the tri-tube. Then using some adhesive, fold and adhere it together. I tied a bit of ribbon around each and inserted the appetizer pick in the little hole I punched at the top. hint, hint…I found my appetizer picks in the dollar section at Target.

I put these cuties up on the mantle and have big plans to put them all over the house for the weekend! I also plan to make some for a hostess gift for a bbq we’re going to this weekend! I think these would also be adorable for birthday candle decorations! Happy Hybrid-ing everyone!
