 Steps

    1
    Pour all the dry ingredients into a large container. Mix in dextrin solution until you get a moist, sloppy solution. If you’d like a green color add in 4 tbsp barium nitrate.
    2
    Dip iron wires into your mixture. You’ll need to leave a few inches of space at the bottom clean so you have room to safely hold the sparkler !
    3
    Put the sparklers in a dry place away from heat or open flames. They need to spend some time drying and hardening to the wire.
    4
    Once dry, simply light the top end of the sparkler and let the sparks fly! Remember to always safely handle fireworks and check local firework laws before making or using fireworks.
