To make our patriotic rockets you will need our printable template, which helps with the sizing for the few pieces you’ll need.
Along with the template, you’ll also need jumbo craft sticks, acrylic paint in red and blue, cardstock in blue, red, orange, and yellow, a star paper punch, a glue stick, and scissors.

Patriotic Rocket Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by painting the craft sticks red or blue.
Let the paint dry completely.
Print the template and cut out the pieces. Trace the cone on red or blue cardstock, and the fins on the other color. Trace the flame on orange. Cut all the pieces from the cardstock.
Now, glue the smaller triangle cone in place at the top of the craft stick.
Glue the larger triangle fins to the bottom back of the craft stick.
Then glue the flame behind the fins.
Next, punch 3 stars from the yellow paper.
Glue the stars in place going down the front of the rocket.
Your rockets are ready to blast off! We had a lot of fun with this craft!
