Creating Your Patriotic Rocket Craft
Items Needed
- Blue and White paper straws
- Red and white paper straws
- Scissors
- Red construction or poster paper
- Red yarn
- Glue stick and glue gun.
Instructions
- Take your blue and red straws and cut them in half. If your child is younger ensure you assist them or keep an eye on them while they do this. We recommend 6 of each color.
- Once they are cut, line them up with blue on top and red on the bottom.
- Glue the straws together, we recommend a low temperature glue gun, however you can use white glue as well. This will require more drying time but this is a safer option for kids.
- Take your scissors and red poster paper and cut a tringle for your rocket topper. You can use a pencil to draw it to make it easier for your child to cut it out.
- Glue your tringle to the top of your blue straws.
- Get your red yarn and scissors ready.
- Cut about 2 feet of red yard, you can measure to use you best judgement. This step you can use as much or little as you wish. Just ensure you have a nice amount. You will then re wind it up like it was prior to cutting it.
- After you re wind your cut yarn cut one end off. This will create a fire look for your rocket.
- Take your yarn and glue it to the end of your red straws, creating a fire type look.
- Let your rocket dry and enjoy!
