Space travel for all may be a while away yet, but these easy paper rockets will satisfy your need for flight in no time. With their funky retro design, Corinne Bradd’s paper rocket home decorations will add quirky style to a boring corner or a child’s bedroom with minimum fuss.
One of the best things about these paper rockets is how simple they are to make, especially compared to other home décor crafts. These rocket models are made using just basic coloured cardstock, a whole punch and some adhesive. Throwing some silver mirri card in there too helps to give everything that gorgeous metallic sheen and emulate the rocket illustrations of the 50’s.
Corinne’s design saves on waste, too. Brightly coloured leftover card from other papercraft projects is perfect for these paper rocket home decorations as most of the elements are small ones. Use up that box of random scraps that are too good to chuck away and let your imagination loose by combining plains, patterns and special effect cardstock on these delightful paper rockets.
Throughout her paper rocket tutorial, Corinne talks you through the basic tools and techniques needed to create these retro home decorations. This includes the simple cutting and assembly of the coloured card, plus some tips on how to add embellishment to your paper rockets using scrap card rivets.
Corinne even shows you how to create your own design template for these paper rockets using folded card and a little sketching. The beauty of this template making demonstration is that its techniques can easily be adapted to other symmetrical motifs and projects. If you haven’t got time for that, however, we have a FREE paper rocket template ready for you to use right here: papercraftermagazine.co.uk/downloads/retro-rockets-template. We really are treating you, aren’t we?
