Christmas syringe clapperboard

On big holidays, in particular, on the New Year, many people like to launch fireworks, salutes, firecrackers, etc. But, this pyrotechnics is quite dangerous for health and even, in some cases, for life and, in addition, fireworks, firecrackers and fireworks need to be launched on the street. But when there’s a Christmas tree at home and a New Year’s mood is present, then I want to “bang” something at home ... But from "home“There are a lot of dangerous fixtures in pyrotechnics. In this article I want to tell you about how you can make an absolutely safe clapper from a syringe at home, without cost, and also reusable.

Watch the video on how to make a clapperboard:



So, in order to make a cracker we need:
- adhesive tape;
- 2 syringes with a volume of 50 ml;
- air balloon;
- confetti ...

Syringes can be bought at any pharmacy in your city, we buy a balloon in a regular store, and you can cut out confetti yourself, for example, from a magazine you don’t need.

First, with a knife or hacksaw, we cut off the flask from under the syringe approximately in the center of the scale of divisions ...

With sandpaper, we even out the place of the cut.

Now we cut off the edge at the already cut off part of the syringe, into which you need to put the needle in and then insert the cut off part of the syringe into the whole syringe as shown in the photo.

We fix the resulting construction with glue.

We fill the cut-off part of the syringe with our previously prepared confetti.

Pull the balloon over the syringe as shown in the photo.

We fix the balloon with tape.

Trim the unwanted part of the ball.

From the cardboard we cut the shell for the cracker along the length of the syringe, wrap the syringe and fasten the shell with tape.

That's all ... Our cracker is ready ...

Now I will tell you the principle of its work:
You “push the lever” of the syringe with a sharp movement, pressure is created in it, the balloon bursts due to air pressure and the confetti flies out ...

Indeed, rather than buying Chinese pyrotechnic products of unknown effect, you can make a rather safe clapperboard yourself ...
