In this craft we are going to do a boat that floats, perfect for the little ones to play in the bathtub, swimming pools or ponds. And also, we are going to use few materials and it is very easy to do so they themselves can also be the ones to do this craft. That if, with supervision.
Do you want to see how to do it?
Materials that we will need to make our boat that floats
- Corks of bottles, as big as we want to make the boat, I have used two.
- Rubber eva two-color
- Sticks wooden or moorish skewer
- Small rubbers
- Hot silicone
Hands on craft
- Let catch the corks, which will be the base of our boat, and which also give the appearance of the logs used to make the rafts.
- For join these corks We will use the rubber bands fixing the ends of our boat two by two until they are all fixed. We can reinforce some point if we see it necessary with hot silicone.
- Once we have the base we are going to prepare our mast, the sail or sails according to how big you make the boat and of course a flag that finishes off the mast. For this we will draw the shape of the candle on eva rubber. As well we will cut out the flag to which we can add more decoration with eva rubber of other colors such as stripes or dots and fix it with hot silicone.
- The next step is stick the stick in the center of the base of the boat and fix it a little with hot silicone. We can help ourselves with a cutter to make a little hole in the cork.
- Now we only have stick the candle on the stick and finish with the flag. If necessary, we can fix the junction points with a little hot silicone.
- A tip, if the boat is going to be used in ponds or large places of water where it can get lost, is to tie a string in the middle of one of the corks at the ends before joining it with the other corks using the rubber bands.
And ready! It only remains to prepare to set sail with our ship and gradually add more until we have a fleet.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
