This homemade Rocket Father’s Day card idea is perfect for our kids! My husband is an aerospace engineer so my kids always look for airplanes, spaceships, and rocket themed gifts to make for him.
Even if the father in your life is not a rocket scientist, this DIY Father’s Day card is just too cute! I love the inside that says: “You Rocket being a dad!”
We have also made this Homemade Father’s Day Card for both my husband and the grandfather’s in our family — it was a big hit too!!

Ingredients
- Colorful construction or scrapbook paper
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Craft Glue

- Print out the template and cut out the patterns.
- Trace the template patterns on colorful construction or scrapbooking paper. Â Cut them out keeping in mind that the square shape is the card template and the rest of the patterns are for the rocket.

- Stick the big triangle on the top end of the front side of the card and the trapezium shape on the bottom side of the card.
- Grab the two small triangles and stick them on the sides of the rocket card.
- Stick the small flame pattern on the middle of the big flame pattern. Glue the flame on the bottom side of the rocket card.
- Write the message ‘You Rocket Being a Dad’ inside the card, sign it, and give it to dad for Father’s Day!
