How To Make A Pop-Up Homemade Firework Craft

Firework Craft Supplies: 

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Black Paper or Card 
  • Ribbons 
  • Stapler
  • Sticky Tape
  • Scissors
  • Star Stickers

How To Create A Homemade Firework Pop-Up Toy

1 – Cut out a circle of paper up to 45cm across. We used black sugar paper but any colour will do, you could even recycle some old wrapping paper or newspaper.

Homemade firework craft step 2.

2 – Find the midpoint of the circle by gently folding the circle in half and half again but don’t press down the folds, you don’t want permanent creases!

3 – Cut from the outside of the circle in a straight line to the midpoint.

4 – Then you can roll the paper up into a cone and staple or sticky tape it into place to stop it uncurling.

Homemade firework craft step 5.

5 – You need to fit the wooden spoon into the paper cone, so snip off a tiny bit of the cone’s point, just large enough for the spoon handle to fit in to.

6 – To make all the colourful “fireworks” that will pop out of the cone, simply cut lengths of ribbon approx 50cm long.

Homemade firework craft step 7.

7 – Tie all the ribbons together onto the handle of the wooden spoon. (The ribbon could easily be swapped for fabric or crepe paper if you prefer.)

Homemade firework craft step 8.

8 – All you need to do now is insert the spoon into the cone and tuck and hide all the ribbons inside.

9 – Star stickers, paint, glitter or anything else you fancy could be used to decorate the outside too if you fancy. (We used star stickers from Baker Ross)

How To Use The Pop Up Firework Craft

Children can now enjoy making their own firework display again and again.

Simply tuck the ribbons inside the cone so they’re hidden out of sight and wave your hand to make the colours leap out!

They might even like to shout out lots of firework display noises too. What a great way to play with sounds!

If you have a child that’s a bit nervous about fireworks or perhaps hasn’t seen them before this can be a great craft to help them get used to the idea before the big day or perhaps even an alternative to have fun with at home instead.
