DIY clapper board

The brightest and most joyful New Year holiday, I want to meet cheerfully and brightly, so that an unforgettable impression of it is remembered the whole next year. To do this, we try to make every effort and imagination, we buy a Christmas tree and all kinds of beautiful decorations for her and her home, we prepare all kinds of snacks and drinks on the festive table, in general, we do our best not to hit our faces in the face, to spend the old year with dignity and meet a new one . To make the New Year's meeting fun and noisy, we buy all kinds of fireworks, firecrackers and crackers in the store and on the market ruins. I bring to your attention a home-made cracker that completely replaces the store and still gives her a head start, since the strength of the shot is not inferior to her and, in addition, is reusable.

For making a festive cracker in home conditions required: plastic, one and a half or two liters, a bottle with a cork; plastic cup, stationery or construction knife, glue gun, colored paper or old illustrated magazine and scissors.


When all the necessary tools and materials are collected, we get to work. In the bottle cap, with a clerical knife, we cut a hole with a diameter of one centimeter, and we carry out the same operation with the bottom of the plastic cup - to make the knife easier to enter the plastic, the tip of its blade can be heated on a lighter or gas stove fire.

When the operation is done, glue the bottom of the glass to the top of the lid so that the holes coincide with each other. We glue the joint between the glass and the cork with glue so that it does not let air through.

We wind the cork, with the glass glued, onto the bottle, having previously lubricated the thread with glue.

The main part of the work is completed, it remains to cut a hole in the lower part of the wall of the bottle with a diameter of 0.5 centimeters - a knife with a heated blade will come in handy again.

Clapper, almost ready. Let's start making the filling for her candy. To do this, we cut the colored paper (in my case, the old illustrated magazine) with scissors into thin strips - the thinner the better.The strips are also finely chopped and we get candy.

In order to make a shot from our cracker, we cut out a paper circle with a diameter slightly larger than the hole in the bottom of the glass and insert it into it — a kind of wad is obtained.

Pour small candy into a glass; wad will not let it fall into the bottle.

In the hole located at the bottom of the bottle wall, we inject any alcohol-based spray such as hair spray - two three zilchs are enough.

We light a match or a lighter and bring alcohol to the same hole, inside the bottle, ignite and through the through hole in the bottle cap and glass, throw sweets into the air.

TO AVOID FIRE, USE THE FLAKER ON THE STREET.
