Firecrackers

Many moons ago, my husband and I made these firecrackers. I had not used them for several years and they were in desperate need of re-painting.

We started with a round timber, and Doug drilled a hole in the top. We used a hot glue gun to add the rope.

Now, over the years the rope became fraid

So, I took some clear nylon thread and wrapped it around the rope to give it more substance.

Nick, my middle son had re-painted them for me and I touched them up. And put them on the front porch with a wagon full of plants.
