Rocket Craft - Instructions:
STEP 1: Create your rocket's base.
Start by grabbing your craft paper and cover the paper roll with it. Another option is to paint your paper roll.
STEP 2: Cut out template
Download the free rocket template (available at the bottom of the page) and print it out. You can draw your own shapes but using the template will make this craft so much easier and quicker to make!
Once you have your template, start by tracing the 2 round shapes on craft paper of your choice and on the coloured cardstock, trace all the other patterns from the template.
STEP 3: Make nose of rocket.
Grab the pattern for the rocket's nose and glue it into a cone shape. Press the area you have glued and hold it together for a few minutes to make sure the cone shape is secure.
STEP 4: Add rocket windows.
Take the paper roll you've covered with the craft paper and glue the two round shapes onto it as windows, just like in the picture below.
STEP 5: Add the rocket base
Using a pair of scissors, cut four slits about 1 inch from the bottom-open end of your paper roll.
STEP 6: Attach the top cone and... you're done!
For the final step, you just need to attach the cone to the top end of the paper roll rocket, and your rocket craft is complete!
