Super Sci-Fi Rocket Fueled Jet Pack--Upcycled Craft DIY

    I love upcycled crafts.  There is nearly nothing better than taking something destined for the landfill and turning into pure joy.  This Rocket Jet Pack is the perfect upcycled craft.  

It's easy and quick to make!  You can add all the embellishments in the world, or just let it be the fuel for your child's imagination.

Perfect for party favors at a Space themed party, great to celebrate the lunar landing in 1969, or just to let a child whiz around the yard!

This craft promises to make you a better parent in less than 20 minutes.  There are days I am just rushing around, taking care of everything that I barely notice the people I love the most.  

I know we've all been there.  This craft is the solution.  It doesn't take long and anyone can do it.  And the instant joy in your persons eyes is worth every minute!

With my son's imagination...I knew he needed some Jet Packs.  He loves to run.  He absolutely loves Boba Fett from Star Wars!  He loves the thought of flight.  And I like making things with little expense...especially if I know they are going to get flown around at top speed.  

You guys...this is my baby, but these can be custom made to fit anyone of any size.


Made from a bunch of items you probably already have!  Check out the link above for the full tutorial.

I love it! I kept trying to figure out what his jet pack would look like when he would fly around. I think that's it.

So cute. Going to use it for our space theme VBS. I'm teaching the 3 year olds.

Two questions: You spray the inside of the bottle? And how do you attach the last piece of webbing?

Thanks!

This is SO fantastic!! I just LOVE it!

We made these with our grandsons tonight. I used velcro instead of staples to adhere the webbing to the cardboard and the chest webbing. It turned out really nice.. Thanks for the idea! Kathy Fry!
Cindy said…
Thanks so much for sharing this idea (found on Pinterest); my husband made these for our 2 boys for their astronaut costumes and they loved them! We used black elastic belt webbing and black duct tape to cover the cardboard and attach the bottles. Thanks again!

I love this and I coulnd'nt wait to do it. I am half way done and so far they look great. I am making three, I have four boys, but one is 15 and a little old for it. I added pull cords for the starter. I used the badge clips with the retractible cord. $3 something for 6 at walmart. Thanks for the great idea.
Annette said…

Um. Girls can be astronauts.

If you paint the insides of the 2 leters, it might not kook as real, but the paint won't get rubed off from people handeling them, my rain, etc.

absolutely girls can be astronauts. I sure wish someone would have made me one when I was a kid.. only I dont think two liter plastic bottles had been invented yet. Girls can rock these just as well as boys..they have imaginations, too, yanno.

Enough of this!
I'm CERTAINLY NOT going to wait until I have grandchildren!
I am making me a set right now and I'll wear it on my next metric century charity bike ride!!!

What she said. ^

Not that you couldn't add pink glitter or something, but you really don't need to modify this for girls.
Unknown said…
Just got the stuff to make this with my 5yo grandson. But he has informed me that there needs to be handle parts like Perry the Platypus has on his jetpack. But I am completely stumped as to what would hold up. Any ideas? If you are not sure who Perry is, here is his picture. http://www.elginpk.com/worsley1011_3/reny/yum.jpg
This. Is. Awesome. My son has been asking me if jetpacks were "in the real world." Yes they are!
Back2Basics said…
What fun! My little superhero insisted on making a smaller version for his stuffed bear so they could be "super" together!
The only thing I'm doing differently is instead of using staples on the arm straps, I'm hot gluing them. Don't wanna take any chances with getting poked. :)
Thanks for posting!

It has rattling superior journal! I always accurately came here from http://klebebh.ch that thoughts to be major gooey confront travel recording in the reality and it's rattling important.

You can borrow my step kids.... In fact you can keep them both indefinitely.

Why not Princess Jet packs for space future. The Jetsons, am I too old for this blog? Lol. Pink felt. Even tulle or beads so easy. The beads could be the turbines powering up. Inside before the felt.
Unknown said…
i don't get it what does it do?
Can u somehow post a picture of the front straps. I can't figure out how you did the straps in front?
Unknown said…
But, does he make it home for dinner from outer space?
Unknown said…
If you are doing puppets for VBS make some jet packs using 20 oz or 1 liter bottles instead of the 2 liter.
Ohno said…
That jet pack is electric!
Unknown said…
If you're not 'crafty' then Harry & Jack's sell these, which look pretty similar! http://www.littlerascalreviews.com/reviews/travel/jetpack-adventure-pack/

Such a great idea. Non-commercial, imaginative, and earth-friendly. Older kids can make for younger ones.
