On November 5th every year in Great Britain we have an event called Bonfire or Guy Fawkes night. In Great Britain, Bonfire Night is associated with the tradition of celebrating the failure of Guy Fawkes' actions on 5 November 1605. The British festival is, therefore, on 5 November. It is celebrated by lighting bonfires and having firework displays. 

Now onto some fun crafty ideas to make your bonfire night light up! 


Make your own mini tea light bonfire

What you will need: 

  • Red, orange and yellow tissue paper sheets 

  • LED tea light 

  • Double sided tape 

  • Sticks or branches 

  • Twine or string 


How to Make: 

  1. Cut approximately ten little raindrop shapes out of the red, orange and yellow tissue paper sheets.

  1. Cut a strip of double sided tape, wrap it around the edge of the LED tealight and peel off the top layer to make it sticky. Then stick the tissue paper shapes around the tealight, slightly overlapping each one.

  1. Take two of the branches or sticks and hold together in a triangular shape. Then use the twine or string to tie the ends of these two branches together at the top.

  1. Add a third branch to the two branches that you tied together, and angle it so that it is pointing away from the others. Then use the twine to attach them all together.

  1. Place the branches on top of the tealight as shown in the picture 


Fireworks in a jar


What you will need: 

  • An empty clean glass jar 

  • Some oil 

  • Water 

  • Your choice of food colouring


How to make: 

Begin by cleaning a glass jar and filling it three quarters full with warm water. Then, pour four tablespoons of oil into a bowl and add a few drops of food colouring. 

Mix the oil and food colouring together, then gently pour the mixture into the jar and watch the magic happen!

I see no reason why g*npowder treason

Should ever be forgot."
