Firecrackers; These are made from 1 landscape timber  I purchased at the local Home Depot.(36", 32",28") The stars are cut from 1/4 in wood tied on with rope. The fuse is rope twisted with wire and glued in to a drilled hole at the top of the timber. Paint the top of the firecracker blue about 10in. The bottom is painted red and white stripes.Tie rope around log where blue meets stripes. Enjoy!
