How to make firecrackers?

The method of making firecrackers is as follows: first, we prepare materials: 3 pieces of red paper, one piece of red rope, one circle of gold thread, one pair of scissors and one circle of double-sided tape. Then, we divide it into six steps.

Fold the rectangular red paper in half, then fold it in half. Fold into a small rectangle about 6*9 cm. Cut out a small rectangle folded with red paper with scissors, and cut it 24 times.

On 24 small pieces of red paper, open a small round hole in the middle of a long side. Stick two golden tapes on the two long sides of the little red paper. Stick a piece on a wide side of the back of the little red paper with double-sided tape, and then roll it up to form a small red cylinder.

Fold the red rope in half and tie the bottom to prevent the small firecrackers from falling when wearing it. The other end of the red rope extends into the hole of the small cylinder and is pulled to the bottom of the red rope. And so on until 24 hours. Pay attention to the left and right alignment during wearing.

Extended data:

The origin of firecrackers has a history of more than 2000 years. When there was no gunpowder and paper, ancient people burned bamboo to make it burst and make a sound, so as to drive away the plague. Although this is a folklore, it reflects the ancient China people's longing for Aetna.

Firecrackers have different names in different historical periods, from firecrackers, blasting poles, firecrackers, weaving guns to firecrackers. Since modern times, people in China have set off firecrackers on almost traditional festivals, weddings, celebrations, temple fairs and other occasions, especially during the Spring Festival, the use of firecrackers exceeds half of the annual consumption.
