Don’t have plans, but want to do something fun with your kids this New Year’s Eve? Try this sparkler craft for some fun ringing in the New Year!
What You Need:
Colored Cellophane Sheets (4×4)
Tin Foil
Jumbo Straws
Sticky Tape
Scissors
Directions:
- Cut a sheet a tin foil the same size as the cellophane squares and sandwich it between two cellophane squares.
- Length ways fold the 3 layers in half or nearly in half. Here we’ve folded it nearly in half which gives different lengths of tassels in the finished firework craft. Folding the sheets in half will mean that all the tassel lengths are all the same. There is no right or wrong, it’s really just a matter of personal choice. Maybe you could make a few and try different lengths for each one?
- From the open end cut strips towards the fold being careful not to actually cut through the fold itself. Continue cutting strips all along the length of the sheets of cellophane and foil.
- Wrap the cut cellophane and foil tightly around the end of straw using sticky tape every now and again to secure it. If you don’t like the look of the sticky tape you could use glue.
- Continue rolling until all of the cellophane and foil is tightly wrapped and stuck around the end of the straw.
- Gently open out all the individual layered strips to give a wonderful pom-pom like head to your homemade firework sparkler toy.
