In this post we are going to walk you through how to make super functional sparkler send off tags for your wedding In this post, we will walk you through how to make super functional sparkler send off tags for your wedding exit! A sparkler exit is a fun and festive way for you and your new spouse to leave your wedding reception. These tags go right on the end of the sparklers. Best of all, the free template includes an area for a match and a strike strip. That way, your wedding guests can all light their sparklers at the same time! No waiting around for a lighter or risking sparklers dying before your photographer captures the magical shot.

Now it is time to assemble the sparkler send off tags. First, you'll need to place a strike strip on each of the tags. Use the grey rectangle printed on the tag as your guide. The strips should go end-to-end, the full width of the tag.Now that you've printed and cut the tags, it is time to cut the match strike paper. Before opening the next project in Cricut Design Space, take a moment and save your sparkler tag project. Now, open the link to the Match Strike Paper Cut File. I've created an svg cut file that is the exact size to fit the tag tempate. Select all and attach the file to the canvas. Dont skip this step. Edit the color of the 'let love sparkle' svg and the name and wedding date to match your wedding color palette. You don't need to adjust the color of the grey rectangle. This is just a placeholder for the match strike paper. You won't see this once you have completed the project.

After making the necessary adjustments to the tag, select all and group the tag and text together. Then select flatten. If you skip the flatten step your Cricut Maker will cut out each letter on the tag. To avoid this, flatten all the letters and the svg file to the tag template shape. Gently place the 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of match strike paper on a StandardGrip cutting mat. Using a Cricut Brayer Roller secure the paper on the cutting mat. The strike paper is somewhat fragile, it's likely that your sheet has some imperfections already. Don't worry, this won't be too noticeable once you assemble the tags. Now, select make it in Cricut Design Space. There isn't a preset for the strike paper, however I found the material to cut well using the Vinyl option as the base material and then changing the pressure to less. You should yield around 105 strike strips out of one 8.5 by 11 inch sheet.
