Sparkler Centerpiece

This centerpiece from Martha is super simple but so very cute.  One of my all time favorites:

Empty glass jars filled with sand and holding up pom poms that resemble fireworks.  I love fireworks.

Here is how you make the pom pom fireworks:

Fold a 3-by-15-inch piece of vellum in half twice lengthwise. Cut slits every 1/8 inch, leaving inch at the top uncut. Unfold the paper, and attach a 1-inch piece of double-sided tape to one uncut corner; adhere to a bamboo skewer, and wrap the paper around several times. Once you reach the other end, use another piece of double-sided tape to secure. Curl the lower strips with the edge of a scissor blade, as you would a ribbon.
