Use your craft knife to cut each pool noodle.

Next up, remove the wrapper from the Fourth of July centerpiece. Use your wire cutters to cut the patriotic stems as they will be the top of your firecracker.
Place the stems into the hole of the pool noodle. Repeat for each of the 3 pool noodles.

Awe Thank you!
Used this idea with granddaughter and friends ( 6-12 years old )to make a single fire cracker. I had flower leis among other thinks . Some kids reused the foil wrap for rocket effect . Would recommend using cool touch glue gun . Do outside if possible to make clean up easier .
I’m so glad you tried it!
Can you tell us the measurments of the cut noodles?
I have no idea, you just eyeball it to be whatever size you like.
