Make Sparklers an Event

Instead of handling them out after the fireworks, label sparklers and put in a jar for guests to help themselves. Print and cut out the labels, punch a hole in facing corners, thread sparklers through and pop in a jar.

Make the Fire Fragrant

For a delicious-smelling fire starter, gather together your favourite autumnal scents- we used pine cones, acorns, herbs and dried citrus slices. Bundle up your ingredients in squares of newspaper, roll up and tie at both ends like a cracker.

Make Coasters

Now, you might need somewhere to rest that warm cup of hot chocolate, so this is where tile coasters come in. Believe it or not they are fairly easy to make, simply cut a tile into 4 smaller tiles each 4″ (10 cm) square. If you wanted, you could also decorate the tiles in items from the outdoors such as leaves. As a final touch, attach felt squares to the bottom of your coasters with glue or double sided tape.
