One of the reasons I fell in love with blogging was the getting to know some amazing people in the blogging community. I love how we can share our talents with each other and get to know new friends. Every once in a while I love to showcase someone that I have found via Friday Flair and today's the day. I ADORE Camille from Makoodle. She ALWAYS has some fantastic goodies to share, today is no different…
**UPDATE**
I emailed Camille from Makoodle and she said she found the cool tubes at her local craft store, but you can order them from several sellers on Etsy.
Hello Whipperberry friends! I am Camille from Makoodle and I'm excited to share a 4th of July idea and free printable with you.
The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. It is a day that the entire country throws a party and celebrates America. When I think of the 4th of July, I think of parades, barbeques, great food, family, and friends.
Patriotic Party Favor
I've seen these gumball tubes used as birthday party favors and thought it would be fun to make a patriotic party favor for America's birthday. After all, how can we throw a birthday party without a cute party favor?
When i first thought of "party favor" I thought chocolate. Who doesn't love to leave a party with chocolate? As I thought about it a little more and remembered how hot it gets in July, I decided I should pick something a little more heat friendly.
In addition to a great party favor, these red, white, and blue gumballs would be a great treat to give to your kids to enjoy during a Fourth of July parade.
Fourth of July Printable Tags
There are four different tag designs for you to use for your patriotic party favors. Download the free printable, then print it on card stock paper. Use a use a 2" circle or scallop craft punch to punch the design into a circle tag. Finally, use a paper punch to punch a hole in the top of the tag and string ribbon or bakers twine through the punched hole and tie it to your favor. You can also use these printable tags for cupcake toppers or anything else you want to give some extra Fourth of July flair.

Great idea but where do I buy the plastic tubes? Thanks for sharing!
Where did you get the tubes? Shouldn’t the company that sells these be acknowledged? Just a thought and courtesy.
PLEASE post where to get the tubes. It’s the whole enchilada and is meaninless without it.
