Match Rocket (EASY!)

A very easy and quick project to do when bored! Not many unusual items needed and fun to do! I hope you enjoy :)


You will need (for 1 rocket):

8 matches/ match heads

Skewer about the same diameter as the match heads

Aluminium foil

A lighter of some kind

Pin or paper clip

Cut out a piece of aluminium foil to about 5 inches by 7 inches.

Roll the aluminium foil around the skewer tightly, make sure not to tear the foil at all!

Roll up the shabbiest end of the foil like you do a tube of tooth paste, 3 times.

Take a little piece of foil and wrap around the folded end to ensure it doesn't unravel during 'take off'

Cut all 8 match heads off the matches.

Put all match heads inside the rolled up foil and push them all the way to the end one by one.

Take the pin or paper clip and place in the end of the foil. Pinch the foil around the pin to create a nozzle.

Your all set for take off... Just lay down next to a match or light and wait for take off, good luck!! :) thanks for making my homemade match rocket!!
