How do you make a simple firework?
heres the easy way,
Firecracker Materials- tape (e.g., transparent tape)
- toy gun caps (either the tape or the rings) or black powder
- fuse (you can make your own fuse)
- pin or needle
Toy gun caps are nice because the powder used in them is easy to work with. Here's how to get the powder out of the caps:
- Gently insert a pin or needle through the back of a cap through to the front.
- Remove the pin and re-insert it from the front, where you made the hole. Pry the powder out of the cap, tapping it onto a sheet or paper or plate or other working surface.
- Carefully work the pin around the edge of the cap to collect all of the powder. There is a very slight chance of popping the cap, so be gentle and work slowly.
- How much powder you need depends on the size of firecracker you plan to make. One ring of caps is more than sufficient to create a loud bang, but you really only need powder from about 3 caps for each firecracker. For the sake of safety, it's best to make one firecracker at a time (you don't need a big pile of powder) and here is how to build it putting the firecrackers together.
- Take a piece of tape about 2" long and pick up the gunpowder on the sticky side of the tape. Evenly coat the tape until you either run out of gunpowder or else run out of stickiness.
- Place the fuse (about 2 inches long) so that it sticks halfway down the tape. The fuse does not need to stick to the tape.
- Roll the tape around the fuse. Take another piece of tape and tightly wrap your firecracker. Be sure to cover the bottom of the firecracker or else the opening will give you a small rocket rather than a popping firecracker.
Alternatively, you could just fold a 2-inch strip of paper in half lengthwise, pour the gunpowder into the fold of the paper, and wrap the paper around the fuse. The paper firecracker could be secured with any kind of tape. and heres the challanging way A few things you will need to make a big firecracker are...
1. Paper ( this will help you make a firecracker )
2. tape. ( scotch tape is best to make a firecracker. )
3. you will need gun powder. ( this is the hardest to obtain, but often not that difficult and in most places legal.)
4. You will need a fuse to make a firecracker.HOW TO MAKE A FIRECRACKER:
Okay so im finally going to teach you how to make a great firecracker, so lets begin.
step 1. Take the piece of paper, and cut it to the size you want your firecracker to be, lengthwise, ( but the width should be no more then 1 inch long no matter what ) Also make sure you have enough gun powder to make the firecracker.
Step 2. Lay gun powder along the paper lengthwise and lay it so it is covering 1/4 of the width.
Step 3: lay your fuse on-top or in the gunpowder. ( all the way lengthwise to 3/4 the way.
Step 4: Roll the paper around the gunpowder as tight as you possibly can, ( the tighter the better it will work. ) Then tape it. to make a firecracker out of household items ( congrats you are done !!! )

It depends who you ask. Since things are even drier to the south, most firefighters would rather have you shoot off fireworks in Polk County or Penellas County for your odds of starting grass fires this summer would be even greater.

It is never enforced anyway.
