How to Make Glitter Fireworks
Making glitter fireworks is such a fun holiday craft for kids! Use simple dollar store supplies to make this sparkly art.
Yield: 1 glitter fireworks craft
Cost: $1
Equipment
- Baking sheet (or shallow cardboard box)
Materials
- Black cardstock
- White glue
- Glitter (multiple colours)
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: "Draw" glue fireworks on the paper
- Set a piece of black cardstock on a baking tray or something else to help contain the glitter.Read below for more tips about keeping the glitter mess to a minimum!
- Start by making a small dot where you'd like the center of the firework to be.Then draw long, curved lines going away from it.
- Draw some smaller, curved lines in-between the longer lines.
- Repeat, filling your page with as many fireworks as will fit - or as many as you'd like.
Step 3: Sprinkle on the glitter
- Sprinkle glitter generously onto your first firework. Make sure that all the glue is covered.
- Repeat, adding different colours to each firework.You can even add multiple colours of glitter to one firework if you'd like.
Step 4: Shake off the excess glitter
- Pick the paper up and tip it to remove the excess glitter.
- You can also flip the paper upside-down and gently shake and tap it to get rid of the extra glitter.(If you do this right away there's less chance of the glitter colours combining.)
- Your glitter fireworks craft is complete!
