DIY rocket
It’s no wonder that the rocket is the most popular craft from the space series.
The easiest way to make this aircraft is from a plastic bottle. For this you will need:
- plastic bottle;
- primer (you can use PVA glue as it);
- acrylic paints;
- colored paper;
- foil;
- cardboard.
Prime the bottle and let dry. Cover with a layer of acrylic paint, let dry and cover with another layer. Attach cardboard wings. Decorate the rocket with stars cut out of paper or foil.
You can simplify the task by avoiding staining and simply cover the bottle with paper or foil.
This impressive rocket can be made using tin bottles from Coca-Cola or other drinks:
It’s even easier to use a cardboard tube from under paper towels or toilet paper. It is enough to attach wings and a nose cone made from cardboard to it, decorate it with colored paper or decorate it with felt-tip pens.
To create an imitation of a flying rocket, you can also ensure that “fire” comes from the engines.
A hero-astronaut can fly in a rocket - just place an astronaut figurine inside or stick a photo of the child himself. Look how cheerfully he looks out of the porthole!
And you can make a real rocket that will definitely fly by watching this video and doing everything according to the instructions in it - of course, only with the help and under the supervision of your parents!
DIY UFO
Another popular space-themed craft is a flying saucer with aliens inside.
Make it as easy as shelling pears by using plastic or paper disposable plates. You can use a transparent plastic cup as a cabin. For a special effect, it’s good to put an alien creature (made with your own hands or an ordinary toy) in the cabin. The UFO can be decorated and decorated with bright rhinestones and sequins.
You can attach ice cream stick legs to the plate.
You can even make a UFO out of wool if you master the skills of this needlework:
Unnecessary CDs and Kinder egg cartons can also be used to make flying saucers.
Models of the Universe
All kinds of models of the Universe or Solar System made from plasticine, papier-mâché, tennis balls, and felt look great.
They are often made in the form of a mobile that can be mounted under the ceiling, creating the illusion of objects moving in space.
Crafts on the theme of space from origami
