1 Cut the "flame" out of the fabric. You will need a fan to inflate the fabric, creating a flame effect. "Fire" can be of any size, everything will depend on the size of the fabric and the place where it will be located. So take this into account.

You have several options for how you can make a flame. You can cut the fabric into many thin strips, or simply cut one piece in the shape of a fire. You can even make a 3-D flame from a piece of cloth folded in half to form a tarpaulin with an open bottom and vents at the top to allow air to escape.

2 Secure the fabric to the wood slats. The fabric at the base should be attached to the wood strip to hold it in place when you turn on the fan. Take the pieces of fabric that will represent the flames and attach them to the wooden strip using a stapler or duct tape. The pieces can be attached to a single batten, but use multiple battens for the best effect.

For a 3D flame, attach each side of the fabric separately so that the air blown by the fan inflates the fabric better.
Note: Attach fabric along the entire strip, not just at the ends.

3 Place slats with cloth in the place where you will have fire. Place the slats on a wire rack or large basket. The slats should be directly above the fan. Lay the slats parallel to each other with the wider side of the fabric facing the audience.

4 Place a fan under the slats. Place the fan under the slats and adjust it so that it blows straight up onto the fabric. If you put the slats on the grate, place the fan directly underneath it. If the slats are on the basket, place the fan on the bottom of the basket.

It will be easiest for you to place the fan near an electrical outlet so that the cord is not visible.

5 Place lighting fixtures under the fabric slats. Light the fabric with red, orange, or yellow bulbs. You can rent special devices that are used in theaters, or you can take ordinary flashlights and attach colored glass or film to them.

6 Check how your fire looks from the outside. Turn off the lights in the room, then turn on the light and fan. If you've done everything right, the backlit fabric should look like flames. If this does not happen, then make the necessary adjustments to your fire.

7 Spectators should not see the fan and light bulbs. So cover them with wood, which you can sprinkle with ash for believability.

If you do not have real firewood at hand, then you can make it yourself from foam pipes or from thick paper.
In order to create the effect of shimmering coals, fold a Christmas garland under the “flame”. The effect is best if you find a garland of red or orange bulbs, or if you wrap them in red or orange foil.

Method 2 of 2: Simulating fire with paper and a flashlight

1 Make a flame with tissue paper. You can make any shape of flames from red, yellow, and orange tissue paper. Then glue the sheets into one bud, resembling a fire.Here is one of the simplest ways to make tongues of flame out of paper:
- Place a clean sheet of tissue paper in front of you on the table. Gently press the middle of the sheet against the table with your finger. Then quickly raise your hand up and gently catch the paper in the air. The paper will take the shape of a bud or tongue of flame. Be careful not to remember the paper.
2 Use paper towels to make firewood. You can draw a wood grain pattern on them with a marker. Long rolls can be cut in half to keep your wood the same size.
- If you have time, try soaking paper towels slightly in water and kneading them with your hands. Let them dry before painting them. The rolls will look much more realistic.
3 Stick the paper to the rolls. Now that you have fire and wood, it's time to put them together. Arrange the wood so that it looks like you have a real fire. For example, you can put them in a pile or lean them against each other with a hut. Glue the wood together first, and then glue the tissue paper to it. For beauty, glue the paper to the top of the wood and on the sides between them.
4 Add fake coals or stones to the wood if you like. As an additional decoration, you can add gray coals or stones to the wood, both inside and around your campfire. It's easy to do - all you have to do is paint gray the pieces of styrofoam.
5 Shine a flashlight on the paper. Place a small, well-hidden flashlight behind the paper and let it shine at the base of the “fire”. Thus, the impression will be created that the fire is burning with different intensities.
- Flashlights with conventional bulbs have a better effect than LED flashlights, which emit too bright “white” light. Conventional light bulbs have a warmer, slightly shimmery, and more natural light.
6 If you like, you can put a fan behind the flame. If you have a small fan, it can greatly improve the effect. If possible, place it under the paper so that it blows up, or, if not possible, away from it. Turn it on at minimum turns, as the paper should not bend or wave too much.
