Things you’ll need to make the Paper plate Firework
– Paper plate (white or brown)
– Scissors
– Stapler
– Yellow and Orange crepe paper
Directions to make the Paper plate Firework Craft
1. Begin by taking a paper plate and cutting it in half.
2. Next, prepare three small rectangular pieces of yellow and orange crepe paper, each measuring approximately 3cm x 10cm. Make sure to cut them with the longer side parallel to the crepe paper’s stripes, which will result in a more robust sparkler effect.
3. Stack these pieces on top of each other and carefully make small 2mm cuts along one of the shorter sides, taking care not to cut through the entire length. This will create a beautiful fringe, as shown in the image. It’s a great way for kids to practice their scissors skills.
4. Afterward, Roll and glue these crepe paper pieces and affix them to the centre of the prepared paper plate.
5. Roll the paper plate into a cone shape and staple the end.
That’s all it takes to craft these beautiful, sparkling Flower Pot Fireworks using a paper plate.
These cones stand tall independently—perfect for kids’ imaginative play. Let them create personalized fireworks with their names. Have fun!
