DIY Project – Custom Sparklers
One more absolutely adorable project by the reader who created the DIY Matchbooks and Custom Cocoa Bags. This time, it’s custom sparklers! LOVE!
Materials
Heavy Card Stock
X-Acto Knife
Ruler
Corner Punch Tool
Sparklers
Glassine Bags
Instructions
1. Print pattern / image onto a heavy weight card stock (this helps keep the sparklers flat).
2. Trim each one out using an x-acto knife and ruler. Cut out small rectangles for the sparklers to slide through. Round the edges with a corner punch tool.
3. Weave sparklers through holes.
4. Slide card into glassine bag for a polished look.

I love how simple these ideas are yet how nicely they must have tied together the wedding! I would love to see photos of her invites and other details from her wedding! Thank you for sharing these wonderful DIYs!
I'm definitely doing sparklers for my wedding too, and this is such a great way to tie it all together!
This is such a fab idea - so easy! And I love the design she printed on the cardstock.
Wow these are awesome! Does this bride have a blog? I'd love the link!!! She has wonderful ideas!
What computer program did she use to design that gorgeous pattern?
Not sure, I'll ask...but I usually use Illustrator for projects like these. It's such an easy program to get to know and you can do a lot with design.
These DIYs are so inspiring and gorgeous. I'm curious, and hoping Kathleen might fill us in on the printer she used. These are all fabulous!
Wow! What a fantastic idea. We got our sparklers at Celebrationsparklers.com. They come in a wedding boxes and I was just going to leave them in the box on the tables, but now I think I might do something like this instead.
This is such a lovely idea. Everyone loves sparklers! Pretty, pretty, pretty!
Cool! We ordered longer sparklers from BuySparklers.com (20 inches). But I think I can still make a pattern that would work just like these. Thanks for the idea!
Do you think she would be willing to share her pattern? I love this but I don't know if I am savvy enough to create such a beautiful design!
love the pattern! not familiar with illustrator software is that by adobe? new to this site and i'm loving it! :)
I love this!!! I think I use incense instead as a favor for guests.

I believe the sparkler pattern is on etsy.com
you just have to look up sparklers...or sparkler holder.
you can get whatever color but you have to pay.
Thanks everyone for your kind words! I now have a template of the sparkler cards available in my Etsy Shop! I offer both templates in 6 color ways and they are customizable so you can type in your own information then print and cut.
