Published January 1, 2025

It’s New Year’s Eve, and I’m sitting on my back porch bundled in blankets. The sky lights up with bursts of color, crackling and sparkling, while my kids clap in delight. There’s something magical about fireworks—the fleeting beauty, the vibrant colors, the way they mark a fresh start.

That excitement inspired this week’s project. We’re painting fireworks! Don’t worry; no loud noises or cleanup are involved. Just vibrant colors, some fun splatter techniques, and the joy of creating something festive to celebrate the new year.
