DIY Jet Pack for Valentine’s Day

One of my favorite quotes for my 3 year old son is “I love you to the moon and back.” It just makes sense since he’s a space enthusiast and wants to be an astronaut when he grows up. So for Valentine’s Day I made this fun Jet Pack for him…and me! I think this would make the perfect prop for a sweet photo shoot.

Materials:

Cereal Box
2 Paper Cups
Duct Tape (2 different colors)
Rope (or ribbon)
Scissors
Glue Stick
Hot Glue
Twine
12 Heart shaped cut outs

Directions:

1. Cover both the cereal box and paper cups with Duct Tape.

2. Pierce a hole in the middle of both cups and insert twine through (about 14″) and seal the top with Duct Tape.

3. Glue your hearts together to make 3 on each side. Hot glue your cups to the bottom of your jet pack (I used Duct Tape as well).

4. Make your straps and there you go!

So Easy! I embellished it with a foam heart…that didn’t last too long! Hope you stop by my blog Project: Party Perfect for some more fun!
