Paper rocket with your own hands

In order to please the child with an interesting toy, it is not necessary to make expensive purchases in the store, you can make it yourself. Children of different ages will definitely appreciate a missile made of paper made by themselves, especially if they take part in the process of its creation. The paper model of the rocket requires a minimum of material costs, time and effort, and brings joy no less than the most difficult toy. There are many schemes for making a rocket made of paper, embodying each of them in practice, you can create a whole cosmodrome.

We bring to your attention detailed instructions on how to make a paper rocket.

Paper artwork "Space rocket"

  1. To begin, we prepare the workpiece in the form of a double triangle.
  2. Symmetrically fold the side lines to the center.
  3. Once again, bend the sides to the center.
  4. Straighten all 4 "legs" of the rocket.
  5. Turn the corners at a right angle.
  6. The model of the rocket is made of paper.

How to make a simple rocket made of paper?

This craft is extremely simple to manufacture and after some training is available even for preschoolers.

  1. In order to make a children's craft of a rocket, we need only a square sheet of paper. We outline the middle line on it.
  2. Cut the square along the line.
  3. We take one strip and mark the points in the middle from both sides.
  4. Bend the corner to the bottom point.
  5. We bend one more corner from the opposite side.
  6. Fold the strip so that the middle of the fold line is the point of intersection of the inclined folds.
  7. Now on the planned lines we add the upper part of the rocket.
  8. The sides are folded symmetrically to the middle.
  9. We plan the middle line on the second strip.
  10. Lateral sides bend to the middle, leaving a small gap between them.
  11. Lower corners bend outward.
  12. Then the first part of the rocket is inserted into the second and the artifact is ready (photo how to make a rocket from paper 11). In order for it to fly, you need to blow in a triangle.

How to make a fake missile?

In this master class we will tell you how to glue a missile from parachute paper.

  1. Take a sheet of thick paper in size 17 by 25 cm and fold it into a cone. In order for it to fold better, one edge can be pressed between the ruler and the table. The edge is smeared with glue and keep the seam until the glue dries. We pass the finished cone all the way through the pre-prepared template and cut off the excess paper.
  2. For the manufacture of stabilizers of the rocket, we need three sheets of the same dense colored paper as for the case, 8 by 17 cm in size. Each sheet is bent in half and overlay them with two templates No. 1 and 2 and draw them with a pencil. Cut out the details along the contour, bend the edges along the dots. Inside, we glue with glue and connect.
  3. In order for the missile to be stable in flight, the stabilizers must be glued so that the distance between them is the same. To do this, you need to divide the circle pattern into three equal parts and mark it with a cone. To mark it is necessary to paste stabilizers, the distance between large and small can be chosen arbitrarily.
  4. We proceed to manufacture the dome of the parachute. To do this, a sheet of tissue paper size of 28 by 28 cm folded as shown in the picture and cut off the excess. The dome is ready.
  5. We make from coil threads the lines for a parachute of the same length. We glue them with paper plates to the dome so that when the parachute is folded all the strips and lines are on the same side.
  6. Then we tie the lines to the knot at a distance of about 1.5 diameter of the dome, the second knot is done at the end of the line. We stretch the bundle of lines into the rocket body, fix the first bundle on its nose with a needle and thread. The missile is ready. It takes off, if you run it at an angle of 60-70 ⁰ to the horizon and smoothly descends after the parachute opens.
