    Take you for this, this was the best explanation on the chemical level of fireworks and helped me get tons of information for my chemistry project.

    It's crazy how they can make the stars create patterns that flash different colors with precise timing.

      @@kumardigvijaymishra5945: Not sure about household objects, and mixing them could be dangerous, but you can get powdered charcoal from art shops, flowers of sulphur and potassium nitrate from Amazon, a pinch of dry salt Sodium chloride) and copper oxide by scraping green rust from copper pipes. That mixture would produce a greenish flame (copper = blue, sodium = yellow), but be very careful and only ignite it outdoors. Potassium nitrate (aka saltpetre) is used in food production, and should be the main ingredient. If you can find barium nitrate, that produces a green flame, but barium salts are poisonous.
