Pocket Rocket
This is a small paper rocket. It's pretty fun to play with and easy to make, but it spirals a lot when you throw it.
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, its hard to take pictures of something so small.

Fins
First, cut your paper into a 9.7cm x 3.3cm strip. Then fold it accordion style until you have three double thick fins, like in the picture. Tape the ends of the loose one together.
Nose
Cut a 3.5cm x 3.5cm square and roll it into a cone. Then cut off the fringe on the bottom so that it's flat.
Attaching the Nose
Place the nose over the fins and mark where they touch. Cut a small slit where each mark was on the cone and then insert the fins. Put a small piece of tape in the space between each fin to attach the nose.
Finished
Your done.
To fly the rocket just hold one of the fins and throw it.
It's pretty durable so you can put it in your pocket and it won't brake.
