Time to make some match rockets!

What you will need

Aluminum foil
Matches (strike anywhere work best)
2 paper clips
Ruler
Marker
Scissors

Step 1: Measure and cut the foil

Measure and cut out a piece of foil that is 2 x 1 inches (2.5 x 5cm for you superior metric users).

Step 2: Unfold the one end of the first paper clip

This paper clip is going to be used to make the exhaust nozzle.

Step 3: Paper clip placement

Place the end of the paper clip about halfway up the match head and hold it against the match stick. I found it easier to do this with my dominant hand.

Step 4: Match to foil placement

*spoiler* in the next step you are going to be rolling the foil around the match and paper clip. I found the best placement for this to be about 3/4ths up the foil.

Step 5: Roll the foil around the match

You want to roll the foil around to top of the match and paper clip as tight as possible without tearing the foil.

Step 6: Seal the top of the rocket

Twist the tip of the foil that is above the match head. Make sure it is closed all the way. If it isn't, the gas will escape through the top and your rocket won't launch.

Example

This is what your rocket should look like after you finish twisting the tip.

Step 7: Remove the paper clip

Once the paper clip is removed, be careful not to pinch the nozzle closed. (Sorry for the quality on this picture).

Step 8: Create your launch pad

Grab the other paper clip and bend it so it creates an angle.

Step 8.5: Still creating your launch pad

For extra stability, bend the paper clip end on the bottom out about 45°.

Step 9: Prepare for launch!

Place your match rocket on the launch pad. You can start a count down if you'd like, although it can be hard to predict when the rocket will actually go off.

Step 10: Lift off

Hold the lighter flame just under the head of the match. You can put the rocket in the flame, but I found it worked better to hold the flame just under the rocket. You are now once step closer to world domination. There are other ways to make match rockets, but I wanted to post a method with specific direction that is fairly consistent.
