With the bottles you will need to cut off the diameter near the lid which will be the part that's width is identical to the bottom. After cutting that you won't need the large part anymore

The part you just then cut off will become your rocket nose cone

To make the bottle rockets you take the rocket front you sliced off and sticky tape that piece to the bottom of the bottle to make the rocket more aerodynamic. fill with one quarter of water compared to the bottle(about 250mls). Place it on the launch and have a blast!.
