Make a cardboard rocket Part 3: Make it a pencil holder

In this part of the tutorial we turn the rocket into a pencil holder with just a few steps.

 

 

Draw a line around the circumference of the rocket. Make it about five inches from the bottom of the rocket. Cut the rocket right in half at this line.

Draw and cut a line

 

Cut tube in half

 

Cut a two inch strip

 

Insert it half way into the bottom of the rocket tube like this and glue it in place. This acts as a collar that will hold the two pieces of the rocket together.

Insert and glue the strip

 

Cut a ring

 

Glue it into the tube like this.

This inserted ring and cylinder cause the pencils and paintbrushes to stand up straight which makes it easier to put the top half of the rocket on.

Pencils inserted

 

The rocket is done

 

Okay! Your pencil holder is done. Now you can have some fun painting it! Paint it absolutely any way you want to paint it.
