Easy Fire From House Hold Items

This is a cool way to start a fire

For this project you will need a gum wrapper, scissors, scorch (or clear) tape, and a battery.

Cut a straight strip of the gum wrapper about as thick as a centimeter.

Take the strip of the gum wrapper and fold it as close to the middle as you can.

At the middle part of the strip (that is now the top) cut a small corner off to make a point. But be careful not to cut all the way though or it won't work.

If you are inside, then you should go outside. Don't want to burn your house down.

Take the tape and get 2 small rectangles.

Put the sticky side of the tape on the ends of the nonmetal white side of the gum wrapper.

Tape the ends of the wrapper down to the positive and negative sides (basically the ends) of the battery.

Squeeze the + and - sides of the battery to push the wrapper down to make a short circuit. The flame starts from the middle and spreads to the ends of the battery. Be safe and have fun.
