- To make a paper firecracker you need only one sheet of paper and about a minute of your time. The type of paper that you use when making paper firecrackers will determine the loudness of the popping sound. The thicker the paper, the louder the pop sound will be. You can use a well made paper firecracker several times.

What Are Firecrackers Made Out Of
These firecrackers were bamboo shoots filled with gunpowder. They were exploded at the commencement of the new year to scare away evil spirits. Much of the modern focus of fireworks is on light and color, but loud noise (known as 'gung pow' or 'bian pao') was desirable in a religious firework, since that was what frightened the spirits. Flash powder is an explosive used in all firecrackers and larger Salutes such as M-80s and Aerial Bombs. Although there are many different formulas for Flash Powder, the safest (and the industry standard) is made just from potassium perchlorate and German Aluminum.
