The supplies shown make one large and two small fireworks. Because I have so many straws in my pantry I also made another large and small firework out of pink chevron straws. I’ll show you those after the tutorial.

I’ll start with the very brief, very abbreviated directions in the Short and Sweet section. Below that is a little more explanation along with step by step pictures in the All the Details section.

The Short and Sweet

To make small size firework:

1. Cut 4 straws in half, at an angle. Cut off each end at an angle.

2. Glue the ends of two straw pieces together. Glue the other 6 straw pieces to either side of that center point.

3. Tie a string around the center and leave a long enough tail to hang by.

4. Cover center of firework with a 1’’ circle on the front and back.

To make a large firework:

1. Cut the ends off of 8 paper straws at an angle.

2. Glue the ends of two straws together. (That will be the center point of the firework.)

3. Glue the ends of 3 straws to the center point on one side of the straw, and the other three straws to the other side.

4. Tie a string around the center and leave a long enough tail to hang by.

5. Cover center of firework with a 1.5’’ circle on the front and back.

6. Hang ‘em up and watch them bring your party décor to life!

All the Details:

Cut the straws.

1. Plug in your glue gun and set it to low.

2. Let’s start with the small firework first. Take 4 straws and cut them in half at about a 45° angle. Cut the ends off so that the angles are going the same direction.
