BOOM! Its the sound that goes off when a firework explodes. There is not a better sound then that around this time of year. Learn to make a cheap, quick, ultra-loud firecracker. Remember, fire is dangerous- its not a toy. Only perform this under appropriate adult supervision. I know how much you guys loved the Match Rocket tutorial last year, so here is something in that genre.

What You Need

• Aluminum Foil
• Scissors
• A Book of Matches (Strike Anywhere work best)

The Process

1. With your scissors, cut all the heads off the matches. Make a pile of them.
2. Again, with your scissors, cut a square piece of aluminum foil. (~4×4 inches)
3. Take all of the match heads and put them on the aluminum foil. Wrap tightly!

The Action

I probably should have included earplugs, but then you dont get that deafening sound experience. Its up to you- I warned you. Take the foil packet you just made and throw it on pavement outside. Its gonna be loud! If you are using regular matches, you might need to use a hammer to hit the packet.

Now, use your own pyro minds to enhance this. Do what ever you want. Just know that we are not responsible for anything that may happen!
