Materials Needed:


  • Black construction paper

  • White glue

  • Table salt

  • Watercolor paints

  • Small paintbrush


Step-by-Step Instructions:


  1. Design with Glue:

  • On the black construction paper, use white glue to draw your firework designs. You can create multiple small bursts or a few large ones depending on your preference.

  1. Apply Salt:

  • While the glue is still wet, generously sprinkle table salt over the designs. Make sure the glue is thoroughly covered.

  1. Shake Off Excess:

  • Carefully shake off any excess salt that doesn’t stick to the glue. This step prevents colors from mixing later during painting.

  1. Add Color:

  • Dip your paintbrush into a little watercolor paint and lightly touch it to the salted lines. Watch as the color spreads along the salt, creating a beautiful firework effect.

  1. Let It Dry:

  • Allow your artwork to dry completely before displaying or handling it further.
