• A bomb cover or base such as ping-pong (table tennis) ball
• A sufficiently long fuse string (at least 5 inches)
• Some nail polish
• A nail
• Shaving blade and patching material
• Black Powder, enough to fill 3/4 ball

The Cherry Bomb Instructions

The first step is to make a hole in the ping-pong ball by using the nail, which is sufficient to drive the fuse wire into it. At the exactly opposite side of this hole, cut a bigger hole on the ball, by means of a razor. The next step requires you to fill the ball with the black powder from the bigger end, such that 1/4th space is empty. Once you have stuffed the ball with the powder, patch the hole with a proper tape or any patching material, such that the powder does not fall out. Insert the fuse wire through the hole made by the nail. Then, paint the ball with the nail polish which will give it a nice look and more importantly make the explosive sound much louder. Finally, the cherry bomb is ready to be set off.

All you need to do now is, just ignite the other end of the fuse and enjoy the spectacular display of its sound and lights, as it unfolds before your eyes.
