Candy Rocket Gift Idea

I found a cute (free) printable from Amanda's Parties To Go that I adapted into a candy rocket for the 4th of July!

Amanda has great instructions, so I won't repeat everything -- but I will give you a couple of tips.  I printed everything on plain copier paper (instead of the heavier paper that she suggests) and it was just fine!

• Use scotch tape to secure the striped rocket paper around the body of the package for a better fit.

• Use a low temp glue gun to make the cone and attach it to the top of the rocket.

Note:  The printable  is sized to fit around a package of Rolo's, but I used LifeSavers instead.  They are a little shorter, so I was able to hot glue my "flames" inside the empty space.  I also created my own fireworks gift tag (new and improved from the original tag in the photo) instead of using her cloud.
