Introduction: Cardboard Model Sailing Canoe

This is a model sailing canoe I made with cardboard, skewers, hot glue, a chopstick plastic bag, tape, and string.

Step 1: Cut Out Shapes

Cut out a 4" x 8" piece of cardboard. Divide it into 3 equal sections lengthwise. Cut out the shapes in the photo. :)

Step 2: Make Body Pieces

Tape the two triangles and the large rectangle piece together as show. Do the same for the other four pieces, you should have three pieces of cardboard.

Step 3: Body Done

Tape the sides together to get what's in the photo.

Step 4: Pontoons

Cut out two shapes like the photo. And fold them to make pontoons.

Step 5: Sail

Make a sail by hot glueing a chopstick and a skewer to together. Tape the bag to the sail frame. Cut bag into triangle shape.

Step 6: Put It All Together

Put the boat together like the photo. Feel free to comment and post photos of your boats!
