How To Make Easy Fireworks Craft for 4th of July

2. Cut the tissue paper along the length into 3 inch wide strips.
3. Make thin vertical slits along the length of the tissue paper strips like shown.
4. Using a skewer, carefully curl the ends of the tissue paper.
5. Paste the red tissue paper strip on the toilet paper roll followed by blue and white paper strips. This would cover nearly 3/4 of the roll.
6. Cover the remaining part of the paper roll with the red tissue paper strip.
7. Take a small piece of twine and glue a sparkly golden pom-pom at its one end. This will make the wick of the firecracker craft.
8. Using the skewer, poke a small hole in the cross-section of the toilet paper roll and glue the wick of the firework craft on the inside of the paper roll.
That’s it! Your sparkly fireworks craft for 4th of July is ready. This is such a beautiful 4th of July craft and yet super easy to make.
