Pop the frozen treats out of moulds, add a festive "fireworks" drip-guard & serve!

"Fireworks" Drip Guards...

Use colorful cupcake liners (flatten and cut in towards round center "fold") or use construction paper and follow along....

Cut circles out of construction paper, cut fringed strips towards center circle (center circle approx. the size of a quarter or nickel).

Fold circle in half, cut a small triangle in center of circle by snipping two angled cuts.

When you open the cirle, you should have a small diamond shape.  Insert stick so center circle outline (if you made one) faces down.

...Or Make Festive Straws!

Keep kids well hydrated this summer when you make sipping even plain water more enticing with "fireworks" straws.
