How to Make Fire Toys
If you are a crafty person, or are on a tight budget we highly suggest making your own fire toys, it is an empowering exercise bringing your own artistic creativity to your flames, especially if you haven’t done something like this before. (If you don't have the time or the inclination, you can buy fully assembled fire toys)
For approximately $40 CDN, you can make your own fire toys that will last a lifetime. The components you need can be found at your local hardware, dollar, fabric or pet stores around town. Check out the new photo gallery to see some fire toys in action.
The kevlar wicks you need can be found here at either our US or Canadian shops. Built and used properly this fire wick will last forever.
We'll be distilling our best construction techniques in this area soon, but in the meanwhile we've provided some links to other sites with good information. We also touch on Build Your Own techniques at our Fire Jams.

Fire toys are very individual so do your research. If you are going to be building your own toys we also very much recommend that you do some research into fire spinning safety. Fire is incredibly fun to play with, but it can also be dangerous unless you are appropriately cautious. *(*
