Fireman Birthday Party Matchsticks

I decided to go with all fireman themed food for the party. Less cooking for me (ha!) and it went with the theme. My mom was really excited about all the crafting so she helped search for graphics online to design a matchbook cover. We printed these on cardstock.

I folded them and left a little ledge on the bottom to tuck in the top cover like a real matchbook and staple in the treats.

For the matches I melted red chocolate (from Michael's) in a bowl. I dipped the tips of the pretzels in and laid them on wax paper to set. I found little "jewelry" bags at Michael's as well and placed 5-6 "matches" in each. I stapled the bag at the bottom to keep them in.



I wrapped a box in brick paper and added a few pieces of tissues paper and ....


They were cute and delicious. I am not sure if the kids or the adults enjoyed them more!

    Such an awesome idea!! My son is a true blue fireman! Hehe. He will dress up as a fireman for the third time this year. He turns 5 in November and I will for sure use this idea. I was able to find a clipart for the fire badge as well. Thanks so much.
