Helpful Tips:
What type of glue works best for this water bottle fireworks craft?
Hot glue works the best for this craft, as it ensures the shapes adhere quickly and well. Use a low temperature glue gun if working with younger kids. If you don’t want to use hot glue, tacky glue is another good option. However, you’ll have to be careful how you attach the confetti, so that the pieces don’t move while the glue is still wet. Glue tape or glue dots will also work for this firework craft, though they don’t offer as permanent a hold. This makes it harder to move the bottle around without losing pieces.
Where can I find LED lights that fit in the cap of my water bottle craft?
Mini battery-operated LED lights are perfect for this fireworks craft. Look for ones labeled “balloon lights” for a snug fit. You can even buy ones that have an on/off switch, and you can choose between white light, warm light, or coloured light options.
Can I add other decorations to my plastic bottle fireworks craft?
Absolutely! Add glitter glue, stickers, or coloured paper stars to the strips of your water bottle fireworks before fluffing them out. You can even wrap a sparkly pipe cleaner around the bottle cap for an extra pop of colour and shine. These water bottle fireworks are such a fun way to celebrate the season! Whether you’re prepping for a holiday or just crafting for fun, this recycled craft is sure to be a hit with the kids. Light the fireworks up and watch them sparkle!
