In an attempt to make my home more festive (when my sister came to visit) we decorated for the 4th of July and the olympics. We made these super easy but really cute 4th of July rockets! These are perfect to hang over your fireplace or kitchen table.
Supplies:
- Patriotic Scrapbook paper
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Tape
- Stapler
- Ribbon
First, chose your paper and decide how long you want your rockets to be. For this one, I cut the paper in half.
Roll them up like a toilet paper roll. I added tape half way through and then kept rolling.
Tape together
Using a bowl or another round item, trace a circle. This will become the top to the rocket.
Cut out your circles
Cut a slit in the circle to the middle
Fold so it becomes a top and then staple
Thread the ribbon through the top
Thread the ribbon from the top through the tube. Make sure you leave enough coming out of the top because that's what it will hang from. Use tape to attach the top to the bottom.
Tape more ribbon into the tube
Hang from the ceiling
I just think they are the cutest! They are so easy but they add such a nice touch.
Happy 4th of July!
