Sparkling Favors
Instantly turn sparklers into placeholders or party favors with ribbon and paper tags. Remove the sparklers from their packaging, bunch them up, then tie them together with red, white and blue ribbon. Before tying and curling the ribbon ends with scissors, slide a hole-punched paper tag through one of the strands with your guests' names proudly on display. Design by
