Looking for a project to add a little “pop” to your summer celebrations?  This project is fun and easy to do!

I am absolutely drawn to So Sophie “Savvy”.  The colors are like a magnet to me.  I love the aqua blue and red with polka dots.  It’s a fun change, yet kept the red, white and blue theme.  For those of us in Utah, we can keep these up the entire month of July.

Can you just imagine these on your picnic table?

I had another fun idea.  What if you drilled out a larger hole in the top and instead of adding the wire for the fire crackers, you could add a glass cup and votive.  Then your fire crackers would really light up the night!

If you’d like to make your own, all you have to do is click here to download the instructions: Download 2010_06_22_MME_Fire_Crackers.

(including an idea for a more traditional blue in the instructions)

Later this afternoon, when the video is available, I’ll add the the video to the left column on this blog.  You can also click here to read the segment on the Good Things Utah website.

My Mind’s Eye wants to see YOUR firecrackers, too.  When you are done making them, upload a picture to the My Mind’s Eye fan photo album on Facebook.

Have a spectacular day!

    Oh and did I miss the more traditional blue idea? I think I’m going to do it just like this, but I was curious! Maybe I just missed it!
