Diy Toy - Rocket Ship From Plastic Bottle



Diy toys are fairly easy and inexpensive to make. These are perfect to give children handmade gifts at Christmas, birthday or any day!



To make a rocket ship from a recycle bottle, you'll be needing;
  • 1 recycle small bottle
  • 1 children sock
  • Glue gun
  • Mod podge or water glue
  • Scissor
  • Silver masking tape
  • Red, yellow and orange yarn
  • Cardboard and felt (not in picture, you'll be needing this to make a circle, fins and for the bottom tube)
  • Aluminum foil
Slip the sock over the bottle. Using glue gun, fold the bottom of the sock under the bottle and hot glue the sock. (For option, use mod podge or water glue and dab it on the surface of the bottle before slipping on the sock)

For this part, use cardboard, felt and aluminum foil. Cut two circles from the felt and glue to the front of the bottle as window. Cut two more circles smaller than the latter and cover it with aluminum foil. Adhere on top of the previously attached circles.

Using cardboard, make 3 pieces tube or otherwise you can use tissue tube. Cover tubes with aluminum foil, secure edges with silver masking tape and adhere to bottom of rocket with hot glue.

Cut three matching fin shape out of cardboard and hot glue them to the side of bottom edges of the rocket.

Wind orange yarn around your hand (around 5-6 times), repeat using the yellow and red yarn, slip it off your hand and tie in the middle. Glue inside one of the tubes. Repeat process with the other tube.


Make this with your children and let them enjoy making their own handmade toys!
