Prepare the Fevicol MR Bottle

Remove the Fevicol MR from the bottle into a clean container and keep it aside for use during the craft. Clean and dry the empty bottle.

Draw the Rocket Elements

Draw the rocket fins, stars, clouds and fiery exhaust patterns on white chart paper. Trace a large circle on corrugated cardboard for the base.

Paint the Elements

Paint the rocket parts, circular base, stars and fire using Rangeela Tempera Colours. Let them dry.

Cut and Prepare the Parts

Cut out all the painted paper elements and the circular cardboard base. Separate and fluff the cotton to create smoke clouds.

Create the Rocket Base

Make a 2-inch corrugated paper roll and stick it at the centre of the circular base using Fevicol MR. Place the empty Fevicol MR bottle inside the roll to hold it upright.

Assemble the Rocket

Stick the rocket fins and fiery exhaust around the Fevicol MR bottle using Fevicol MR. Stick the stars around the rocket and arrange the fluffy cotton around the base to resemble smoke clouds. Allow everything to dry completely.
