2 kebab skewers
roll of duct tape
8x2 inch of aliminium foil
container of any sort
a pair of scissors
a firework fuse
25 matches

The first step is very easy, all you have to do for this step is to tape the two skewers together with the tape you have at the bottom and top.

For this step you have to collect your match ends. You do this by getting your scissors and clamping them at the begining of the red bit of the match and gently wiggle the sc issors releasing the flakes into your your container.

And do this for all the other matches.

once finished use your scissors and just cut up all the bits until it turns into a fine powder.
