Ok first get 3 boxes of poppers. i got the Wolf Pack ones but you can get other brands as long as they are still snappers. mine have 50 in each pack. Now Pour out the contents onto a table, newspaper, or anything that you won't risk getting sprinkled with tiny little pieces of wood. i suggest you open then on the street or anywhere outside (not grass). Then you must empty the contents and pick out the individual poppers. go throw away or get rid of the stuffing. do this with 3 boxes and put all the poppers onto the middle of an average tissue paper.

Half of the popper never work...

One time I bought these poppers, they explode when you throw them on the ground. They are called Pop-Pops, they look like miniature firecrackers, but withoout the fuse. They are 3x as loud than those, and like 10x as reliable.

isn't there some formula that you can make the snappers instead of having to buy them?

Apr 25, 2008. 8:26 PMkidhavoc666 says:
well if u wrap the duct tape tightly but not too tight it will compress the explosion and make it more dangerous...=]
Aug 25, 2007. 4:49 PMlaxrulz16 says:

you know this nice but does ne1 knw how to make this poppers???????
Feb 19, 2008. 3:30 PMEviLNinJa says:
THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS is to unwrap all the poppers and pour the stuff inside into a plastic bag. this is as loud as a M-80
Feb 20, 2008. 2:00 PMEviLNinJa says:
it might not hurt your eardrums but you have to be careful not to accidentally explode it in your hands while making it.

iv done this too :) except i unwrapped all the little packets and then made a big one out of a origami box
Nov 27, 2007. 6:30 AMplasmaspy says:
cool i did this about a year ago with about 50 snaps in an origami pouch! nice to see someone who has posted this so i dont have to anymore. also sometimes when i was taking apart all the snaps the bowl i stored them in exploded cos i dropped the stones in too fast lol!
Nov 13, 2007. 12:34 PMnerfer192 says:
this sucks i just did it and all the poppers but two exploded and all the sound it made was a little pop
Nov 17, 2007. 2:21 PMnerfer192 says:
well usally i buy pop pops, but at the time i had party pops, so ill try the other brand.
Nov 22, 2007. 4:06 PMnerfer192 says:
well i have yet to try the other brand, so byby now.
Nov 21, 2007. 6:24 PMBongmaster says:
i did something similar where i emptied the contents of each popper into a larger paper i made using king size cigarette papers so it looked like a giant popper (or devil snaps these were called) and it was a real loud bang wen thrown :D
Nov 15, 2007. 7:46 PM- creative name - says:
unwrap all of them and have a pile of whatever is inside of the little poppers. it will work better
Oct 12, 2007. 11:30 AMGorillazMiko says:
another GREAT idea is to like empty out the rocks, then get wrap them up. its really cool and loud, and it makes a huge spark as big as a tennis ball. ive done it many times, i tried spraying WD-40 on it but it just starts smoking and its really loud. nice instructable!
Oct 13, 2007. 9:55 AMGorillazMiko says:
dude, ive done it like 10 times, NOBODY DIED.
Jul 6, 2007. 8:32 PMCharles IV says:
