A small boat is a beautiful object and is realistic. Why not make one and impress your friends? Read this tutorial to make a Spanish paper ship. The problem is, there are a lot of steps, but it's very easy if you have the right materials.

Steps

Step 1. Draw the outline of a boat - as if looking at it from above - on a piece of cardboard box

Cut out the shape.

Step 2. Use it as a template to draw another on a cardboard box

Cut this out too. You should now have two.

Step 3. Cut the tips of these two pieces of cardboard

Step 4. Take a piece of cardboard that will become the base of the boat

Step 5. Glue the complete boat shape to the paper base

Step 6. Then glue the tips you cut

Step 7. Next you will need three wooden skewers to make the ship masts

Step 8. Carefully cut the top of the wooden skewers so they are all the same length

Step 9. Thread one of the skewers into the center of the boat

Don't push it all the way, but just enough to make it stand up on its own.

Step 10. Repeat placing one behind the raised part on the front and one in front of the raised part on the back

Step 11. Now take two of the smaller pieces of the sticks and place one on the front of the ship and one on the back

Step 12. Next, mix some vinyl glue and water and use it to glue onto small pieces of tissue paper

Step 13. Just seal all the seams to give the vessel a good texture

Step 14. When the glue and paper have dried you can paint the boat

Step 15. For the sails, cut some triangular shapes out of white paper

You will need five in all.

Step 16. Attach a sail to each of the three skewers in the middle of the ship, and the last two to the skewer in the back of the ship

Step 17. Finish by placing a small flag on the skewer in the front and if you put a small amount of glue on the top of each mast, you can add some wire to create the rigging

Step 18. When the glue has dried, remove the excess

… And here is your sailing ship

Advice

Without the sail, but by continuing to stack pieces, you can make a cruise ship!
Try not to use vinyl glue if you are using very thin cardboard.

Warnings

If you are using glue and it gets on your hands, remove it with a paper towel and wash your hands.
Handle the scissors carefully.
