How to Make a Rocket Launcher

How to make a simple rocket launcher with a few basic materials that you probably have lying around your home.
  • Toilet paper rolls (two per rocket launcher)
  • Large rubber bands (two per rocket launcher)
  • Cotton balls
  • Skewer sticks (one per rocket launcher)
  • Tape (a heavy-duty kind like duct take or packaging tape)
  • Scissors



Steps:

1. Cut two slits on each side of the toilet paper roll.


2. Place a big rubber band through each slit, as shown in the photo.


3. Tape the slits to secure the rubber bands, so they don't fall out.


4. Cut a toilet paper roll in half lengthwise.
5. Roll the cut toilet paper roll into a smaller diameter, then tape it in place to prevent it from unravelling.


6. Poke a skewer through the rolled-up toilet paper roll.


7. Place the smaller rolled up toilet paper roll into the larger one, then stretch the rubber bands over each side of the skewer.

Step 8: Place a cotton ball inside the launcher and shoot!
