Cut a cardboard roll into thirds and glue grey foam rubber around it. Also stick the foam rubber around the lantern lid and base.
Stick 1 cm wide strips of crepe paper on the inside of the cut cardboard rolls for the fire jets. Now the jets are ready.
Print out the free motif template and transfer the motifs (B+C) onto the red foam rubber. Cut out all 6 parts and glue two parts (B+C) together. Now fix them to the lantern with glue.
Now transfer the template for the cone (A), which represents the tip of the rocket, onto the holographic cardboard and cut it to size.
Mirror the template to the left at the folded edge so that you have a semicircle on the cardboard. The glued edge is not mirrored!
Slightly score the glued edge with a cutter so that it can be folded easily. Glue the cone together at the glued edge.
Glue the light chain from the inside into the cone by fixing it with hot glue.
Fix the cone to the lantern with hot glue.
Make a hatch out of transparent paper and foam rubber using the template (D) and glue it to the top.
