Throwing a space-themed birthday party for your child can be a blast, but it can also be challenging to come up with creative and fun ideas to make the party memorable. One idea is to make printable rocket water bottle wraps to add a fun and personalized touch to your child’s outer space birthday party.

(THIS POST PROBABLY CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS. OUR FULL DISCLOSURE POLICY IS REALLY BORING, BUT YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.)

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make a printable rocket water bottle wrap:

Materials:

Printer
White printer paper or lightweight cardstock
Scissors
Glue or tape
Water bottles

Step 1: Download the rocket water bottle wrap template

The first step is to download the free printable rocket water bottle wrap template.

Step 2: Print the template

Once you have downloaded the template, print it on white printer paper. Make sure your printer settings are set to high quality to ensure that the colors come out vibrant and crisp. You can use a lightweight cardstock if you want a little more rigidity to your rocket.

Step 3: Cut out the template

Use scissors to carefully cut out the printed template along the outer lines.

Step 4: Wrap the rocket template around the water bottle

Take the cut-out template and wrap it around the water bottle. Use glue or tape to secure the ends of the template together.

Step 5: Make the wings

Each of the three wings have four lines on them. The two center lines are the guidelines for where you fold the paper in. The two outside lines, by the triangle edges, are to be folded out. When it’s done, you should have a flat surface to tape to the rocket water bottle with a triangle wing sticking straight out.

Step 6: Make the cone top

Wrap the half circle shaped piece into a cone shape. Secure with tape or glue. You can either tape it to the water bottle or simply let it sit on top.

Step 7: Repeat for all water bottles

Once you have decorated your first water bottle wrap, repeat the process for all of the other water bottles you have.

Star Decorative Stand

These are the items I used to make the star stand.

1/2″ Thick Foam Block (Here is a 6 pack of what I used!)
1/4″ Thick Wooden Dow Rod (I got mine from Hobby Lobby, but you can easily get a pack from Amazon as well)
Mod Podge
Paint brushes
Craft paint. (I used black)
Metal Flakes, both Gold and Silver (I got these at my Dollar Tree, but they are also available on Amazon)
Soldering Iron or Foam Cutter
Hot glue gun

Directions:

1. Draw your stars on the foam block.

I knew what size I wanted my stars, but I’m not a fan of my freehand drawings, so the first thing I did was get on my Cricut machine to make my star stencils. I made 4 stars: 4.5″, 3.75″, 3″, and 2.25″.

You can free hand the stars, use (or make) a stencil, or use whatever star shaped items you have lying around if it’s the size and shape you want.

2. Cut out the stars.

I used my soldering iron to cut out the stars since that’s what I had on hand. A foam cutting tool would be perfect for this though and would make straighter cuts, but you can use whatever is available to you! (If you’ve got the time and patience, you can also cut them out with a knife or blade)

I highly recommend doing this outside if you use a soldering iron since it melts the foam which produces a lot of smoke.

3. Straighten the edges to your liking.

4. Make a rectangle for the base of the star decorative stand. I did free hand this part, and it ended up being about 2″x 5.5″.

5. Cut the dow rod to the length you’d like and paint them. I cut 3 different sizes: 2″, 3″, and 4.5″. You may need different lengths, depending on the size of your stars and where/how you want them positioned. Make sure you have at least 1″ extra for the part that goes in the base and the bottom of the star (about .5″ each)

6. Paint the stars with Mod Podge and then cover with the metal flakes.

7. Use a soft brush to get the excess flakes off of the star so only the part that’s glued down will be left.

8. Continue adding Mod Podge and flakes on all the sides and front of each star until they are covered to your liking.

9. Paint the base.

10. Insert the dow rods into the base of the stars. I used the rounded end of a paintbrush to start the holes so it wouldn’t mess up the foam by pushing a flat end of wood into it.

11. Put the stars into the base. I used the end of the paintbrush for this as well.

add stars to the base of the decorative stand

12. You can use hot glue to secure the stars to the rods, the rods to the base, and to glue stars directly onto the base of the star decorative stand if you want.

All done!!! Isn’t this a super easy and fun project?!

I can’t wait til I can get pictures of this with the rest of the party decor! Here’s a quick pic with my awesome moon I made to go with the party theme!

Leave me a comment below and tell me what you think! I’d also love to hear from you if I’ve inspired you to make a star decorative stand yourself!
