What is a wick of a firework made of?
Don't worry... you don't need anything complicated or hard-to-find.
- toilet paper (you have this, right?)
- matches (wooden or paper, makes no difference)
See, I told you this was easy. Now let's make a fuse from these unassuming starting materials! The first step of making a homemade fireworks fuse is to prepare the paper that you will use as the basis for the fuse.
- Tear a square of toilet paper into six strips. Thinner is better, if you can manage it.
- Fold each strip of paper in half, lengthwise.
- Twist each strip to form a string.
- Scrape the heads from a few matches into a cup or onto a plate. I used a screwdriver for this, but you could use a knife or pliers or possibly a fingernail.
- Try to break up any large clumps of match head.
- Sprinkle a small amount of water onto the match head chemicals that you collected.
- Mix the water and match heads to try to make a thick paste. As you can see from my finished fuse, neatness is not critical. However, a more uniform slurry will burn better than a clumpy mixture.
- Roll you paper fuses in the mixture, one at a time, to thoroughly coat each fuse.
- Allow the fuses to dry completely before using them.
- You can store these fuses in a paper bag. I should not have to tell you this, but: store them away from heat and flame.
fireworks are usually made in china, (as a lot of things are) and they are basically gunpowder, sulfate, charcoal, nitrate, fuses, and colors (to make them appear colorful) so when they are lit, the fuse burns all the way down, hits the gunpowder, and the force blows it up into the air (also causing it to, more or less, explode into colors)

Where can you get cheap fireworks near Chicago?
Fireworks are illegal to sell or shoot in Chicago [Cook County]. The rest of IL is also restrictive...with the only fireworks able to be legally detonated being "safe and sane" items such as sparklers, smoke bombs, snappers, and small fountains. In addition, even these items are only legal to be shot at certain periods of the year. Other counties may have additional rules and regulations. As of summer 2013, Sky Lanterns were specifically banned throughout the state as well.
Anything bigger than the "safe and sane" articles mentioned above cannot be sold in IL.
