If you are referring to a flaming arrow as lighting a campfire ... here you go:\n\n**The Powered Flaming Arrow**\n\nThis next variation is a much more complex, but much cooler. It can be done in an area where the closest tree is up to 200 yards away. \n\nConstructing this modified version takes a while longer, but if it is set up correctly, it is well worth the effort. \n\nFor this version you will need to use some kind of wire instead of kite string. This is a little more expensive, especially if you need a couple hundred feet. Using insulated wire works better than bare metal. \n\nTake your wire and fasten it onto a stake in towards the back of the fire ring. Run the other end up into a tree making sure that the wire is clear of branches. \n\nNow the fun part, take a flare, a dowel, a model rocket engine (size B or C), and some duck tape. With this assemble a unit where the dowel is taped above the flare, and the engine behind the dowel. Once you have made some kind of assembly (make sure the flare is pointing forwards and the engine is pointing backwards) cut 3 pieces of the wire into about 4 inch segments. Make a loop in the middle, and fasten the 3 loops to the flare assembly making sure you put the loops on the main wire first. \n\nTie a string to the flare and pull it up into the tree. Now put an ignitor in the engine and hook it up to a battery ignitor. Now you are ready to build your fire. Remember to put plenty of dry tinder so it will easily catch when the dowel hits. Suggestionfor use - a bag of pine shaving hampster litter. \n\n*Hint: Have the dowel extend out past the flare so when it hits the stake in the fire pit it protects the flare from snuffing out. \n\nWhen the participants arrive have one person up in the tree ready with a lighter to light the flare. The MC of the fire should have some kind of script like, "I call upon the spirits of the trees to send forth a ball of fire to light our fire!" This can be adapted and modified to make it more special and magical. Once this is said, the flare is to be lit, wait a few seconds, and ignite the engine. If all this is done correctly your flare should come speeding into the fire ring, it will be dark for a few seconds, then your fire will come alive.

Wow.  There are only several thousand recipes.  You can do this over a camp fire, on the stove, in a steamer or crockpot.  Either just throw in what you like or, if you are one of those "by the book" people use one of the sites below to find a recipe:

Use cardboard, clay, or sugar cubs.  Cardoard would be the easiest.

I made earrings out of guitar picks and to install the french wire I melted a hole at the pointy end with an awl/ice pick.  I heated up the metal tip of the awl on the gas stove and used it to melt a small hole in the guitar pick.  Cool idea, now I'll make a matching necklace!  Thanks!

Baking soda, vinegar, orange food coloring... Volcano!\n\nDon't do the whole volcano, just do half of one. Basically, you do a cross section of it. Put a tube down the middle of it. The front part of your project will basically look like a volcano, but the part in the back will be a cross section that shows the different levels of rock inside a volcano, and how pressure builds up inside.\n\nResearch what happens during an eruption, and famous places that volcanos have erupted.

1. Get old newspaper.\n2. Soak it. Completely saturate it with water.\n3. Stick it in a blender. Add some ink or even food coloring. Turn it into a pulp.\n4. Try to find some fine mesh. Chicken wire works, if it's fairly closely spaced. Pour the concoction over it. Put paper towels and a book on top to press it.\n5. Dry overnight. Be careful when you peel it off.\n\nOld blue jeans also work (arguably better), but they'll kill your blender.

I had to do this before, but I had to make mine out of candy. If you're allowed to do that, use candy. It's pretty easy. Just get some wire, twist them to the right shape, and use different kinds of candy on them. Once you have those up, then you'll need the wires that go across to connect them. I find that candies like twizzles and gummy worms work well. It shouldn't take that long to make. Good luck!

Add some baking soda first and then pour on some vinegar. You will observe some bubble forming and the bublbles will rise very quickly. If you want to make fire instead, add some glycerine to potassium permagnate. Be very careful if you want to do this.

This is really cool, but is a bit involved.  Get ahold of something that roates, a record player would be best, but you could probably rig something up.  Then you need some metal screen, like the kind on your windows.  Saturate a piece of cotton (a few cotton balls) with a solution of barium chloride, or some other metal halide salt and isopropyl alcohol.  Light it on fire and put the screen over it and start the rotation.  First of all, the flame will be a cool color depending on what metal you chose and it will create a really cool cyclone effect as the air coming in through the screen is swirled.  Really nice effect!

You will first have to contact your municipality and see if they allow outdoor "recreation" fires. We built one in our back yard and used redbrick to do it. Dig a pit aprox 1 to 1&1/2 feet deep, and as wide as you need it. Level out bottom. Line with redbrick. Leave sides earthen. You have to remember to not stack the bricks around the top, this will prevent air flow.If you want a finished look for the top use one layer of bricks turned on their side so the holes in the bricks let the fire get air. If you just want an outdoor fire ring that you can cook on look on Gander Mountain's website. You will need to order a catolog, it's free. They sell fire rings that are somewhat inexpensive and you can put your cooking racks right on top to cook. We have both and use the ring more than the pit it's easier and can be taken inside over he winter. I hope this helps you out. Good Luck!!!\nhttp://www.gandermountain.com

go to a craft store (or even a department store with a craft department such as walmart) and buy dowel rods, small styrofoam balls, and craft paint - you can paint everything the color you need it to be (remember to get a top coat for the paint!) and put it together using the styrofoam balls to join the dowel rods

These are instructions for making non-toxic invisible ink using baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). \nDifficulty: Easy\n\nTime Required: A Few Minutes\n\nHere's How:\n1.   There are at least two methods to use baking soda as an invisible ink. Mix equal parts water and baking soda.\n\n2.   Use a cotton swab, toothpick, or paintbrush to write a message onto white paper, using the baking soda solution as 'ink'.\n\n3.   Allow the ink to dry.\n\n4.   One way to read the message is to hold the paper up to a heat source, such as a light bulb. The baking soda will cause the writing in the paper to turn brown.\n\n5.   A second method to read the message is to paint over the paper with purple grape juice. The message will appear in a different color.\n\nTips:\nIf you are using the heating method, avoid igniting the paper - don't use a halogen bulb.\nBaking soda and grape juice react with each other in an acid-base reaction, producing a color change in the paper.\nThe baking soda mixture can also be used more diluted, with one part baking soda to two parts water.\nGrape juice concentrate results in a more visible color change than regular grape juice.\nWhat You Need:\nBaking Soda\nPaper\nWater\nLight Bulb (heat source)\nPaintbrush or Swab\nMeasuring Cup\nPurple Grape Juice (opt.)\n\n\nBaking Soda Volcano\n\nOkay, the baking soda volcano is the kitchen equivalent of a volcano, not a real one. It's cool all the same! The baking soda volcano is also more or less non-toxic, which adds to its appeal. \nDifficulty: Average\n\nTime Required: 30 minutes\n\nHere's How:\n1.   First make the 'cone' of the baking soda volcano. Mix 6 cups flour, 2 cups salt, 4 tablespoons cooking oil, and 2 cups of water. The resulting mixture should be smooth and firm (more water may be added if needed).\n\n2.   Stand the soda bottle in the baking pan and mold the dough around it into a volcano shape. Don't cover the hole or drop dough into it!\n\n3.   Fill the bottle most of the way full with warm water and a bit of red food color (can be done before sculpting if you don't take so long that the water gets cold).\n\n4.   Add 6 drops of detergent to the bottle contents.\n\n5.   Add 2 tablespoons baking soda to the liquid.\n\n6.   Slowly pour vinegar into the bottle. Watch out - eruption time!\n\n7.   Chemistry is Cool :-)\n\nTips:\nThe cool red lava is the result of a chemical reaction between the baking soda and vinegar.\nIn this reaction, carbon dioxide gas is produced, which is also present in real volcanos.\nAs the carbon dioxide gas is produced, pressure builds up inside the plastic bottle, until the gas bubbles (thanks to the detergent) out of the 'volcano'.\nAdding a bit of yellow food coloring too will result in a lovely lava red-orange!\nWhat You Need:\n6 cups flour\n2 cups salt\n4 tablespoons cooking oil\nwarm water\nplastic soda bottle\ndishwashing detergent\nfood coloring\nvinegar\nbaking dish or other pan\n2 T baking soda
