Here are her step by step instructions for you to create you own! 1. First decide if this space ship will be for little people or for all ages so you can determine what size boxes you will need and where you might put your completed space ship. This could be a group or family project. We made our ship for adults at the ARSL conference. 2. Contact your local appliance store and ask them to save you a refrigerator box and possible a dryer/oven/washer box. 3. Our boxes had flat lids and we chose to keep those in tack to give the space ship a little more stability. 4. Make an opening on the backside of the refrigerator box large enough to allow your patrons to go in and out. 5. Make an oval (or two, or three) to allow patrons to put their face in for a photo op or just to see out (and you to see in) 6. Cover your refrigerator box with butcher paper or craft paper, and mold it around your openings. We put duct tape over opens to cover the rough edges and to help hold the paper on. The inside of the box does not need to be covered since that is only for the patron to go in and play or get their picture taken. 7. To make the top of your rocket/space ship, trim the dryer box down to an appropriate size. 8. Beginning at the middle cut each side of the box down to the corner of the lid in to form the four peaks/points of the rocket. 9. Cover or decorate the points any way that you feel will be attractive to your patrons. 10. Connect the four point with duct tape to stabilize the top. 11. Set the completed dryer box on top of the completed refrigerator box. 12. We used stars and colored duct tape and ribbon to cover the areas that were still exposed and to help stabilize the space ship more. 13. Have tons of fun with this project!
