Whenever we need to cut out intricate shapes from felt, I always grab some freezer paper and use the freezer paper trick to cut out our felt shapes, but good-quality felt also makes all the difference. If the intricate details of this Felt Rocket craft are too difficult for your beginning sewer, I would suggest using a fabric puffy paint for the smaller details and using some felt or hot glue to attach tiny pom poms instead of those little tiny circles. I love to pair our crafts with a book, and Ella suggest pairing this with The Guinness Book of Science and Stuff. This is the book that taught Ella how to read – it contains awesome photographs along with short blurbs, and the pictures were often interesting enough to encourage her to decipher the text. It was so hard to get this girl excited to read, but this book was our “magic bullet.” #PRINTABLE SHAPE ROCKET HOW TO# Straw Rockets (with free printable rockets).You could also pair this book with Counting on Katherine by Helaine Becker, the story of a groundbreaking American woman who not only calculated the course of moon landings but, in turn, saved lives and made enormous contributions to history.

Tip: if some of the smaller pieces of this sewing project are too tricky, use fabric puffy paint to add details. Select felt fabrics for the rocket craft. (Or trace the template pattern directly on the felt if not using the freezer paper method.) Trace the template patterns onto freezer paper and iron onto the felt. Use scissors to cut out the traced patterns. Grab the 2 circle cutouts and any one of the bullet pattern cutouts (the rocket base shape). Place the 2 circles on the rocket base and stitch around the sides to attach them. Do running stitches around the sides to attach the round felt cutouts with the rocket base. Place the small flame pattern on the big flame pattern. You can stitch the flame patterns together or keep them unstitched in this step. Place the top corner part of the rocket and place it on the top corner of the front rocket base. Now paste the head, wings and fire on the rocket body.Place the other rocket base under the front rocket base. Cut out engine fire from the Easy Rocket Template and trace it on orange crafting paper. Printout the Easy Rocket Craft Template and trace the head and wings of the rocket on green crafting paper and cut them out. Use your hot glue gun and put glue on this Popsicle stick. Now to stick them together take 1 more Popsicle stick and cut it with scissors to the width of the rocket body you just created before. Place them together vertically as shown in the picture. Take 3 blue Popsicle sticks and 2 red Popsicle sticks. And you can easily download (click here) Easy Rocket Craft Template to print out the different parts of the rocket.
