New Year’s Eve Fireworks Craft Instructions:

1. Cut different size rectangles & glue them to the paper

Begin by cutting out several rectangle buildings from your newspaper. Make them different in width and height to give your fireworks craft more dimension. Glue the buildings along the bottom of your black cardstock paper with your glue stick.

2. Color parts of newspaper

Use your yellow highlighter to make lit up windows inside all of your newspaper buildings.

3. Paint colourful fireworks using Q-tips

Pour several different colors of acrylic paint onto a paper plate. Use Q-tips to paint colorful fireworks along the entire top of your newspaper buildings. Let your paint dry.

4. Paint lines with colorful glitter

Use your colorful glitter glue to add sparkle to your New Year’s Eve Fireworks Craft. Add the glitter glue to the existing painted lines and then add more lines coming out from each firework on your paper. Use the same colour glitter glue as paint to make it look more realistic.
