If you’ve read my Creative Creations – Cardboard Tower post you know sometimes you just need to create for the sake of creating. You’ll also know that I really want to create a castle out of Bristol Board, but haven’t yet. I have however made this Pirate Ship. I made this back in 2011 and it’s still looking good.
My Supplies
- Bristol Board
- Plain paper
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Tape
- Glue
- Needle Tool
I drew it out and made it with regular computer paper first, holding it together with tape. I then took it apart and used it as a template on the Bristol Board. I used glue to hold the Bristol Board pieces together to form the ship. I added little embellishments like the portholes and windows on the back. I used paper sticks from suckers for the masts. Crumpled two of the sails to create the idea that those two sails haven’t been raised yet.
I had them in a white shadow box with white waves and background also made out of Bristol Board.
I currently have it in this small brown shadow box with colored construction paper waves and background.
