How Do You Make A Cardboard Ship?
• Draw the shape of a boat – as if you were looking at it from above – onto a piece of cardboard box card. Cut the shape out. • Use this as a template to draw around onto some more cardboard box card. Cut this shape out too – you should now have two. • Cut off the pointed end of one of these cardboard pieces and the other end, too. • Take a piece of small card. • Glue the full boat shape onto the card base. • Next, glue the pointy bit you cut off onto that. • Next you’ll need three cocktail sticks to make the ship’s masts. • Carefully snip off the top third of the cocktail sticks, so that they’re all about the same length. • Punch one of the cocktail sticks into the middle of the boat. Don’t punch it all the way through – just enough so that it stands up on its own. • Do the same again, with one behind the raised part at the front, and one in front of the raised part at the back. • Now take two of the smaller pieces of cocktail stick and stick one into the front of the ship at an angle
