How to Make A Cherry Bomb

In this article you will learn about making a cherry bomb.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• One Ping-Pong Ball
• Some Black Powder (Enough to fill the ping-pong ball 75% full)
• A String of Fuse (A minimum of 5 inches)
• A Small Bottle of Nail Polish (Color doesn't matter)
• A razor
• A needle (or something sharp to make a hole in the ping-pong ball)
• Some Tape (Exceptional)

1. Take the ping-pong and poke a small hole in the ping-pong ball (Big enough to fit the fuse).
   NOTE TO READER: I had to poke at the ping-pong ball a couple times with the needle to make the hole big enough.
2. Then user the razor and cut a hole into the ping-pong ball to pour the black powder into it.
   NOTE TO READER: Cut this hole on the opposite side of the first hole you made with the needle.
3. Once you got the hole, pour the black powder into the ping-pong ball only 75% of the way full.
   NOTE TO READER: If you want to patch up that hole with some tape or something after you pour the black powder in, you can if you want.
4. Now insert the fuse into the hole the needle made.
   NOTE TO READER: Sorry, no note needed, pretty self-explanatory.
5. Okay, almost ready for the fun part! Now cover the entire ping-pong ball with the nail polish. This should increase the noise of the explosion.
   NOTE TO READER: You can put a couple more coats of nail polish on it, but I don't think it makes a difference having one coat or having a half dozen.
6. Finally get a lighter and light the fuse.
   NOTE TO READER: Don't just stand there! Throw it!
