The clay is used for the nose cone. You could make it out of a 1" x 5/8" piece of dowel rod.
Use red and gold tinsel for the flame coming from the rocket. These are available in craft stores.
- Shape the nose cone from either clay or wood and glue it into the PVC tube.
- Make the fins. Cut the square of foam in half making two rectangles. Cut the rectangles diagonally making four fins. (Note that you only need three fins - don't put a fin on the side that will be against your shirt.)
- Glue tinsel to make the flame. Trim to desired length.
- Glue on the fins.
- Glue the PVC ring to the back (the side where the fin is missing).
- Decorate the body of the rocket with the permanent marker.
