- While it dries, cut the other paper tube into 4 sections.
- Roll each into a tube shape and secure shut with glue, these will be the thrusters.
- Paint each thruster black.
- As those dry, create the base of the rocket by cutting a slit into two squares of cardboard, and then bring them together into an X or + shape.
- Trim one corner of each of the sides, and then cut a right triangle in the middle of the straight side.
- Paint the rocket base.
- Make the rocket top and window by gluing aluminum foil to craft paper, and then cutting two varying sized circles.
- For the top of the rocket, use scissors to make a cut that reaches the middle, and then wrap the ends around until it makes a pointy sphere while gluing to secure.
- Glue the top to the paper tube body.
- Make 4 cuts at the bottom of the paper tube body, and slip the rocket bottom inside.
- Place the 4 thrusters in each chamber, securing with glue.
- Glue red and yellow tissue paper into the thrusters.
