Then tease out some puff balls of pillow batting and shape them into suitable explosions. I covered the outside of the transparency sheets in white Elmer's craft glue and surrounded this inner core with pillow stuffing. To hold the stuffing in place long enough for the glue to dry, I simply used rubber bands for a few hours.
I used pipe cleaners to add some white trails bursting out of the napalm cloud. It would have been smart to use WHITE pipe cleaners but I only had green. This meant I needed to slather them with white paint.
Next, spray paint your white pillow batting explosion with blank, highlight with some gray paint, and you're nearly done. For the final step, I hot glued half a dozen pipe cleaners into the explosion. It does help to study photos of actual napalm explosions to get some inspiration for how to shape your pillow stuffing. This was a very easy project and cost less than $10 to make a pair of markers.
