Torches are a very important aspect of Guy Fawkes Celebrations.
Light up the night's sky! Check out our main Torches Page: click here
Be careful! have a metal container for burned out torches and keep torches away from burnable materials.Soak torches in an open space with plenty of air flow.

Get a normal Cloth Sack	cut on darkline Lay the sack flat and cut across  the bottom and side edges as shown.	Cut into strips from top to  bottom in aprox.  15cm/16"strips
Get a straight branch /stick of suitable length for someone to hold and cut a slot in the top.  (Picture is not to scale!)	Wrap the strips of  sacking around the  stick to form the torch head.	Wrap the wire around the sacking to keep it in place going downwards.
Take the long end of wireand pass it through the slot on the opposite side to the shorter strand.	Wrap the long end around the pole going in the opposite direction than the first winding. So that you have two ends one on each side of the pole.	Twist the ends  together with a pair of pliers  and cut of the end
		Stand the torch upside down in a mix of paraffin/diesel mix for at least 12 hours to allow it to soak in.

We would of course remind you to always be
careful around these materials and around fire. The appropriate
parental supervision is advised.
