In short, to make firework stars, you will need just one dye and one gunpowder. Start by placing the dye next to the gunpowder inside a crafting table, and depending on what dye you use, you will craft a firework star of that color. 

You can also make multiple color fireworks by adding more dye to the crafting table alongside the firework star you just made. When the firework star is crafted, proceed to add it to a table with gunpowder and paper to make the multi-color firework.

You can also add special items to give your firework stars special effects as listed by the chart below.
