Food Decorating Pens Heavy Duty Paper Plates 4th of July decal (download online) Graphite Tracing Paper Print the 4th of July decal found on www.605magazine. com, or make your own! Place a piece of tracing paper graphite side facing down between the 4th of July decal and a paper plate. Trace the decal onto the paper plate using a pen or pencil. Use the red and blue food decorating pens (I found mine at Hobby Lobby in cake decorating) to trace over the graphite design left on the paper plate. Erase extra graphic from plate.
Festive Ribbon D rings Hot Glue Gun Fold one end of a 12-inch piece of festive striped ribbon over the flat side of 2 D rings. Secure with glue. Layer a box of sparklers on top of a dinner napkin, and wrap with your ribbon loop.
