Creative Exploration: Jet Pack Costume

VBS was awhile ago, but I wanted this to be the first post of my "creative explorations" as I have deemed them. Be prepared to see many many more. I found I like to create and make things :D (and it's cheaper). So I made two different costumes, but liked this one the best. And it seemed everyone liked this one the best so I'll share how I made it.

First I went to this site and saw how she made it. Mine is a cheaper, less intense version lol

Materials This is just what I used, feel free to substitute:

-Hot Glue gun & glue sticks - Aluminum foil -Construction paper

-Two water bottles and caps - 2 toilet & 2 paper towel roll (4 total)


-Two pieces of felt ( for straps) -Cereal (or in my case Cheese it) Box





I wasn't planning on making a tutorial when I made it, so I just have the finished results. BUT since several people asked how I made it, I figured I'd do a tutorial (just in case people need it?) and so here goes my instructions.

1. Wrap Cheese it Box (or whatever box you have), water bottle, toilet and paper towel rolls in aluminum foil. The best way is to hot glue the water bottle nozzle into the paper towel roll and then wrap the aluminum around both.

2. Hot glue your felt straps to the now covered box. (Make sure the straps wil fit your arm BEFORE cutting them).

3. Hot glue the water bottle and paper towel and toilet paper rolls onto the front of the box (Side opposite your straps).

4.Hot glue bottle caps (these are your buttons).

5. Cut out construction paper. I chose orange and red and glue that to the inside of the bottom of the toilet paper roll. This is your fire.

Your done! Not the best instructions, but next time I make something, I'll make a video...it's easier for me to show you.

(Me looking worn out at break lol) I was tired! Excuse the expression
