Catherine Wheel Pictures
You will need: some black card of thick paper; some white card; split pins; glitter; coloured
pens; scissors.
A display of Catherine wheel fireworks looks great against black paper. Cut out some rounds of white
card, in different sizes (but not too small or they won't spin around properly). These circles can then
be decorated in different colours and sprinkled with glitter. Then gather together two to three different
sized circles (with the smallest circle at the top, and then ascending in size) and carefully push a split
pin through the middle of the circles. Decide where the circles will sit on the black paper and then
push the pin through the background black paper and secure at the back. Make a display of several
different-sized Catherine wheels on the card and then see if your Catherine wheel's spin! You can
also add glitter to the background of the picture for extra effect.

2. Glitter Fireworks Craft
Kids! Make sparkling Glitter Fireworks with this easy craft. Glitter on a black background looks
really effective!
Originally invented in China, fireworks are used for celebrations all over the world today.
You will need :
Black card
White pencil (optional)
Glue and glue spreader or glue pen
Glitter
How to make it…
1. Draw your fireworks on the black card with a white pencil. You can use a normal pencil, but
a white a pencil shows up better.
2. Using a glue spreader or glue pen, carefully dab glue over the lines you have drawn. Nb. if
you’re using different coloured glitters, only dab glue on the lines you want in that colour.
3. Tip glitter over the glue.
4. Pick up the card and tap off the excess glitter onto newspaper.
5. Fold the newspaper so it forms a shoot and pour the excess glitter back into the pot.
6. Repeat until all your fireworks sparkle with glitter.
Tips…
Try drawing different types of fireworks. Swirly ones and fountain ones.
If you use different coloured glitters, start from the middle of the page so you mix the
colours less when you tap off the excess.
Don’t draw very small fireworks as it’s difficult to put the glue on accurately.
