How to make a cracker with your own hands from paper?
What is the new year or birthday without jewelry for a room or crackers? Do -it -yourself claps with their own hands will not only add fun and laughter, but also save money. After all, such a cracker can be reusable, and even children will be able to use it, and even children will be able to make a clap of paper.
Step -by -step instructions on how to make a cracker with your own hands from paper:
1 of thin cardboard or thick paper, make a cylinder. One side of the cylinder should be open. If you have a paper cup of suitable size at hand, use it.
2. In the middle of the circle that closes the bottom of the cylinder, make a small hole. If you make a cracker from a glass, carefully make it the end of the scissors. Just rotate the end of the scissors in the center of the bottom of the glass until the hole is obtained.
3. For the cracker, you will need a thin elastic band. Its length is arbitrary. Bend the elastic band in half and stick a bent end into the hole at the bottom of the cylinder. The elastic band should freely pass through the hole in the bottom.
4. Extend this end through the bottom of the cylinder inside, so that you can tie a small piece of toothpick. We tie a small rectangle to it cut out of a plastic bottle. If you pull the elastic band and abruptly release it, the toothpick and a piece of plastic will work like a detonator and push confetti.
5. Tie the ends of the gum with the knot that remained outside, and attach a small ball. It can be made of foil. Put the foil tape into the resulting loop and crumple it with a ball.
6. Fill a cylinder or glass with pieces of colored paper, confett or Christmas tinsel. Pull over the end of the elastic band. She will hide and push the filling of the cracker. If the foil ball hit the bottom of the cylinder, then you will hear a small cotton, as when the real cracker is triggered.
For a cracker, a hat round elastic band is suitable. It can be bought in needlework stores. The elastic band for fishing is also suitable for this purpose. Choose an elastic and at the same time strong elastic band for a cracker
How to fill the paper cracker? It can be purchased or homemade confetti. Homemade confetti is cut into squares from strips of colored paper or foil. If there is an unnecessary Christmas tinsel, cut it with small pieces.
How to make a cracker with a balloon from paper?
Make a cylinder out of thin cardboard. So that it is strong enough roll a sheet of cardboard or thick paper not in one layer, but in several. To do this, do not cut the cardboard after you get a cylinder from one layer. L tam the cardboard with glue, wait a bit while the glue dries and wrap your cylinder with the next layer of paper. If there is round packaging from products at hand, use it. And for beauty, stick beautiful packaging paper on top.
How to make a cracker from a paper with a balloon:
- After the glue on a paper cylinder dries, take a balloon and cut it approximately in the middle.
- For the cracker, you can use both halves of the ball. Tie a half with a ponytail tail. Put the half of the ball on the cylinder and firmly wrap it with tape or insulating tape.
The balloon for pneumatic chloride should be quite large. A small ball will not create a balloon that can push confetti.
- It remains to fill the cracker with purchased or homemade confetti and conduct tests. To make it more convenient to pull, tie a thick cord to the end of the ball.
Piezoelent and plastic chatter
Such a cracker as in our next master class is unlikely to be able to make kids. But the idea will probably appeal to their dads if they love to craft. So, for work you will need:
- Piezoelent from an unnecessary lighter.
- A wide plastic round can, for example, from a body cream or hair balm.
- A piece of plastic tap pipe.
- A five-liter bottle of water, namely that part of it, where the thread and cork.
- A drill with a cutting nozzle with a crown, which can be cut a circle. In principle, having spent more time, it is difficult, but you can do without it.
- Cardboard, toilet paper and confetti to create cartridges.
As you can make a cracker from all this, you ask. Read carefully the next master class!
Piezoelent and plastic cracker:
1 Take a plastic jar and a drill make a round hole in its bottom. In diameter, it should be slightly larger than the diameter of your plastic pipe. It is convenient to use a drill crown for a drill for work.
2. Pierce the resulting hole slightly, apply polymer glueler, suitable for plastic on its inner surface, and insert a plastic pipe. Outside, the seam between the jar and the pipe is also strengthened with glue.
3. Take a plastic bottle from the water and cut its upper part, the lid along with the thread. This part of our cracker will need to be firmly glued to a plastic pipe. But first, in the lid, you need to drill a round hole, it also makes it a drill crown, but it should be smaller diameter than that which was made in the bank.
4. We put on the thread from the bottle on the plastic pipe and glue it with glue. On the one hand, our reusable cracker is already ready with our own hands. By unscrewing the cork, it will be possible to insert cardboard “cartridges” into it, and the twisted cork will hold their “sleeves” so that only confetti flies out. It remains to create an element that will give an impetus for the explosion.
5. We have a lid from a plastic can. We will need it and a piezo element from a lighter. In the lid you need to make two very small holes into which the wiring from Piezo element will crawl. We insert the wiring into the holes of the lid, and leave the piezo element itself outside. It should be located so that the button is located near the edge of the lid and it is convenient to press. Strongly glue the piezo element to the lid and inside and outside. Try not to leave any holes, and do not spare the glue!
When clicking on the button, the piezoelectric element should work. Twist the lid. Our reusable cracker is almost ready, it remains only to decorate it at will. The author of the master class for this used aerosol paint from the spray can and stickers.
6. Now you need to make cartridges. Take the album sheet, cut it into 3 parts and turn the resulting paper strip into the tube. Unscrew the lid from the cracker and insert a folded sheet there so that it turns just to the desired diameter. Gently take out the resulting cylinder and add the edge.
7. Take the toilet paper and glue it to the cylinder, so that the bottom is obtained, and this bottom was only from thin toilet paper. Pour confetti into the cylinder. And the top is just like the bottom, swing with toilet paper.
8. Now our cracker is ready! How it works and the stages of its creation watch in the video below.

Noise clap of orihi
The noise cracker can publish a fairly loud cotton, but confetti will not fall out of it. The only advantage of such a cracker is its very quick manufacture. The size of a sheet of paper for the noise clap is arbitrary, but a double sheet from the school notebook is most suitable. How to make a cracker with your own hands from paper? Bend a sheet of paper as shown in the diagram below.
The resulting pockets need to be expanded and bend inside. How to bend the clap pockets in the video below. You may be interested to read how to make New Year's crafts. As well as to ak make an angel, Christmas tree and snowflakes from paper.
