How to make your rainbow sparkler
- Taking a sheet of cellophane, fold it in half and cut up towards the fold leaving about 1.5 cm near the top (be sure to supervise little ones at all time)
- Repeat this with as many sheets of cellophane as you would like in as many colours as you choose
- The wrap the strip of cellophane around a pencil or twig and secure into place with sticky tape
- Be sure to stick the end that you haven't cut
- Layer multiple sheets on top of one another until you have the desired effect
- Make sure the cut sections are fanned out so they look like a sparkler when shaken!
