The easiest way to learn how to make fireworks yourself is to get a kit. The fireworks supplies are all included, along with the instructions on making the fireworks. Kits save you money on fireworks making supplies. You don't have to buy extra pyrotechnic supplies and chemicals that you don't need. And usually, kits come with a built-in discount, as well, saving you even more money. So, if you are new to homemade fireworks, we strongly suggest you start with a fireworks project kit.

With Skylighter's premeasured project kits, you're much more likely to succeed. For instance, learning how to make a smoke bomb from scratch is complicated. But with a kit, you know exactly how to make colored smoke right the very first time you try.
