Procedure:

1.  Choose a large enough Carton Box to serve as the body of your Rocket Ship.  Make sure it's clean and free from any unwanted left over chemicals.  Fold the cover inside the box to strengthen it.

2.  Get a smaller Carton Box or a Shoe Box and attach it to one end of your Larger Carton Box with double sided tape and packaging tape.  This will serve as the front of your Rocket Ship.  You could later on, make an incision on top of this box so you could have an extra compartment where you could store toys or other small stuff.

3.  Get a smaller Carton Box and Cut it in half,  this will serve as the wings of your Rocket Ship. 
Attache it to the sides of your Rocket Ship with double sided and packaging tape.  Applying glue stick will strengthen your Rocket ship.

4.  Now that You've finished the body of your Rocket Ship you can now start decorating and adding some accessories.  However, it would be better to paint your Carton Boxes before putting them together as painting over the tape, could get quite tricky.  To make the steering wheel of your Rocket Ship, cut a piece of Styrofoam enough to fit inside the front of your Rocket Ship.  Using the empty Carton Roll from your fax paper, gently insert it through your Styrofoam and attach it to the Carton box using your Glue Gun.

5.  For the Steering Wheel, make a small hole in the middle of your aluminum plate and gently attach it to the Carton Roll. Secure the end with double sided tape to prevent the Aluminum Plate from falling.

6.  For the Rocket Boosters, you can use the Carton Roll from your packaging tape and a plastic cup.  Attach it to the back of your Rocket ship using your Glue Gun.

7.  For head lights, you could attach a pair of plastic cups to the front of your Rocket Ship using your glue gun.

8.  Were almost there.  No Rocket Ship would be complete w/o it's own laser gun and missiles  Remove the caps from your dried-up permanent markers and cover it w/ colored tape.

9.  Attach the caps of your permanent markers to empty carton rolls from your fax paper using tape and cover the body using colored tape.

10.  Attach them to the wings of your Rocket Ship using your glue gun.  You can attach bottle caps  inside your Rocket Ship as buttons.

11.  Congratulations your done...
