How to do it
1 Attach a piece of paper around the cardboard tube. Apply Sticky Base at the start and the end of the paper and press the paper onto the tube.
2 Trim the paper to the length of the cardboard tube.
3 Cut out the templates from glitter paper and fold to make the top of the space rocket.
4 Attach the top to the cardboard tube with Sticky Base. Fold the wings as shown in the photo and attach them onto the cardboard tube with Sticky Base.
5 Finish by attaching a foam rubber circle onto the front.
6 Make an alien by attaching a piece of paper around the tube. Wrap pipe cleaners around the tube and around themselves to stay in place. Trim the ends.
7 Wrap a piece of pipe cleaner around a pencil or similar to make a coil. Fold in the middle and attach onto the inside of the tube. Attach pom-poms onto both ends of the pipe cleaner. Make a nose by rolling a small piece of pipe cleaner into a coil. Attach onto the tube with a small blob of Sticky Base.
