Making explosives in Terraria is all about getting your hands on some dynamite, grenades, or bombs from the Demolitionist NPC. He'll show up to your base as long as you've got an explosive in your inventory. If you're looking to craft something a bit more specific, like Sticky Bombs or Beenades, you'll need some gel or bee wax to mix with your bombs or grenades. Pro tip: keep a safe distance when you're using them, or you'll be seeing the respawn screen more than you'd like!
Simply put, you can't really "make" basic explosives like bombs and dynamite from scratch; you buy them from the Demolitionist or find them in chests. For fancier stuff, mix what you find with other materials!
