This idea will be a blast with all your mates.

Hidden behind the nose cone of each of these rockets is a stash of lovely sweets!
So if you're having a bonfire bash, why not make some as presents for your friends?

Or if you're going to a display, you could pop one in your pocket so you can nibble through the evening.
The size you make is up to you. For a pocket size one, use a small sweet tube. Or for a larger one that you can share, use a crisp tube.
Once you've decided on the size you want, you can start to make it look like a rocket.

Begin with the nose cone. Do this by making a semi-circle of card and bending it into a cone shape.

Attach it securely to the rim of the lid.
Wings and fins are made out of card, just stuck on.
Now get painting - any colour or design you like.
When complete, just add some parcel ribbon to the end of the rocket to look like flames.

You can make the ribbon curl by running a ruler along each piece.
Finally, add your sweets and replace the lid and cone to complete.
