What You Will Need:

  1. Magazine pages. I tried to find ones that were red or blue.

  2. Tape

  3. Scissors

How To Do It:

  1. Roll up your magazine page. Make sure you roll it up with the color you want on the outside. Also, be careful not to roll it too loosely. Once you have it rolled up, secure it with tape on one end.
  2. On the end without tape, stick your scissors into the end of your “roll” and cut the pages into little sections. If you find that the last step is too difficult (because it is kind of tricky), you can cut one end first and then roll it up. It’s completely up to you! I decided to make mine look like Martha’s by placing them in an empty peanut butter jar with sand. Cute, right?

I can imagine these as a centerpiece on the buffet table or as a fun craft for children to make on the Fourth of July! What would you use them for?
