DIY ship out of a box

Recently, decorative items that are made from recycled materials or from materials that are conventionally called garbage, for example, cardboard boxes from appliances, have been in fashion. On the other hand, it has become fashionable to create various figures and models of equipment from paper.

In this article we will try to create some interesting ship models from cardboard. For some of these models you will need ready-made templates, and some products can be created without diagrams, using your imagination.

At the end of the article you will definitely find a video tutorial that will help you consolidate your knowledge and create an interesting product from available materials. Let's not waste time, prepare the materials and start creating.

Templates

Let's first try to create a ship using templates. They are easier to work with. What you will need:

thick cardboard (you can use an old box);
scissors;
pencil;
ready-made template;
glue or tape;
colored paper and other decor.

First you need to print the template and transfer it to the main material. By the way, if you are using cardboard that is not too thick, you can print the template directly on it.

You should get something like this:

Next, you need to dilute a little PVA glue with water, cut plain paper into pieces and dip them in the solution and glue them to the base of the ship. Remember the papier-mâché technique. It is better to connect the ship parts themselves using tape.

All that remains now is to decorate the blank with the prepared decor. This can be colored paper, wrapping paper, fabric. The ship can also be painted with ordinary watercolors.

You also need to make a mast for the ship. You can use an ordinary twig and several round pieces of thick cardboard.

Every boat must have a flag. For it, use fabric and applique made of paper or material. The sail can also be made from cardboard; use toilet paper rolls.

Making a big ship

This option is suitable for young children who love exciting games. For such a ship you will need a large box. This could even be packaging from under a refrigerator or from a large TV.

First you need to connect the valves of the box and make a sharp bow of the vessel. On the sides you need to cut out several round timbers to make improvised portholes. Use a thick stick and fabric to make a flag. Use paints to decorate the ship.

Don't forget about details such as the anchor - it also needs to be made of thick material and decorated. A large do-it-yourself cardboard ship is ready to sail across the endless expanses of the apartment.

We use matchboxes

Let's call this modeling, because we will create a whole ship from several matchboxes. What you will need:

cardboard;
glue;
matchboxes;
wooden skewer or thick paper;
colored paper;
markers;
scissors.

First you need to glue two matchboxes together with the short sides. Glue another box on top in the middle.

Now you need to cut out a rectangular piece of paper and glue it to the structure on top.

Now we need to cut out a strip from thick colored cardboard, with which we will form the bow of the ship.

Now you need to cut out a piece of cardboard that will correspond to the contours of the ship, look at the photo:

Now the bottom and top of the ship need to be fastened with glue. Next you need to make the mast. You can use a wooden skewer or roll up an A4 sheet very tightly and secure the tip to prevent the sheet from unwinding.

A hole needs to be made in the top matchbox of the ship so that the mast can be inserted. Don't forget to use glue.

Now all that remains is to cut out the sails from colored paper, paint them and attach them to the mast.

The matchbox ship is ready! It can be made wider and higher if you use more matchboxes. If you use very thick cardboard for the bottom of the ship, then it is quite possible to float it on the water and participate in competitions for the title of the fastest boat.

DIY cardboard spaceship

We suggest using a fairly simple option that will allow you to literally create a 3D model. To do this, you need to cut out several identical parts from cardboard, but of different sizes. The parts need to be fastened together, but either a thin piece of foam rubber or a small piece of thick paper must be placed between them. It will look something like this:

Or like this:
An entire space station can be made using cardboard rolls from toilet paper and tape.
Use silver foil, a compass, a black marker and a pencil to give the spaceship a realistic look.

Tips for working with cardboard

Cardboard is a fairly convenient and easy-to-work material, but if you know a few nuances, the work will seem even simpler, and the product itself will turn out neat:

When working with very dense material, use fairly sharp scissors, or even better, a stationery knife;
before bending the cardboard parts, it is better to draw along the dotted lines with the non-sharp side of scissors or an old pen that does not write, then the material will bend neatly and evenly;
Not in all cases you can use a glue gun. For example, if you are working with thin material, then it is better to use office glue or PVA;
work in a room where the humidity is not too high, otherwise your products may delaminate or parts may not stick together;
the room should be light, it is advisable to have a window that can be opened and ventilate the room;
We also always advise you to work only in a good mood.

How to make a ship out of cardboard with your own hands - a few more interesting options
We would like to offer several more interesting and beautiful options for ships that you can make with your own hands.
In this case, a milk carton, cardboard boxes and a sleeve are used.
And this is a luxury boat made from an ordinary cardboard box.

With a little practice and imagination, you can create such a beautiful pirate ship made of cardboard with your own hands. We always advise you to involve children in creativity. They will be especially pleased to know that they are creating a boat just for themselves. At the same time, you can think about a pirate costume, and also make a spyglass, a hat and a cardboard knife out of cardboard.

Such participation of children in creativity helps to develop their imagination, attentiveness, perseverance, and the desire to create something with their own hands for themselves. Be sure to involve children in cleaning too.

Explain to them that after themselves they need to fold all the materials, put them in their places, and also need to clean the work area so that later they can get back to creating.

And as usual, we want to share with you an interesting video master class. This will be a DIY ship made of cardboard with a step-by-step story. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t know English, because the video shows all the stages of creating a beautiful vessel very clearly and in detail:

The inevitability of constant drift on the waves

Having at your disposal a simple single-seater punt, in such places you can catch a whole bucket of freshwater or sea fish in an hour and a half. True, just having a boat will clearly not be enough.

The fact is that

River current;
Sea squeezing wind;
The waves arising on the lake will continuously carry away a small craft, and it’s good if not far from the shore, but only along it.

Birthday in a pirate style - a DIY cardboard chest

YO-HO-HO! Do you love pirates?

My son loves them very much and decided to celebrate his fourth birthday in this style.

We spend the summer at the dacha, but since it is not located on the seashore, it was decided to transform the site into a small pirate cove!

The morning began with turmoil, while the main pirate was sleeping, work was in full swing: the trampoline was turned into fishing nets, they were looking for a place to moor the ship, hanging flags, pulling the sails, and goodies were placed on the veranda - the hold.

When the entire pirate crew had gathered, they were given pirate accessories (hats, sabers, belts, bandanas)

Then the team members went in search of the treasure. They were faced with difficult trials, which the team coped with honor.

After completing the tasks and successfully finding the treasure, the pirate team went to celebrate their victory.

We began to prepare much in advance to purchase everything we needed in Moscow.
First of all, I started preparing the decorations and, I want to say, it took quite a bit of time. What we had:
imitation of a pirate ship from a refrigerator box, painted with regular gouache

Cardboard anchor + gold paint.
Flag - cardboard primed with black paint + Jolly Roger cut out and glued on.
A rope is a thick rope, folded in half and twisted.
Cardboard steering wheel. The process of its creation

In a private house

Use patio furniture. It has excellent breathability while being durable and comfortable at the same time. You can combine a sofa and rattan furniture. If you are planning to decorate a country house in a marine style, you can design the site accordingly. In the local area, a bed with an awning and portable tables made of wood look good. You can’t do without wooden elements such as street lamps. Such standard nautical style elements as bottles with ship models, a bell and a steering wheel are appropriate in the yard.

In the nursery, bedroom and kitchen, curtains with a marine theme look good.

Indoors you can use:

heated ceramic floor;
shapeless poufs;
decorative boats;
curtains with shells;
walls finished with paint or plain wallpaper.

How to make a boat from scrap materials | 50 photos of ideas for making boats

What boy doesn't like to launch boats? Website “Mom can do anything!” I have collected for you 50 ideas with photos on how to make a boat with your own hands from scrap materials.

Paper boat

We all made paper boats as children. These are easy to make, and the material is always at hand. And if you take not just paper, but for example packaging from sheets for a printer, then the ship will last on the water for several hours!

Plastic bottles

In the modern world, plastic is used everywhere and finding a similar bottle for making a boat is not difficult.

A shampoo bottle is also useful for making a sailboat. Pierce it with a wooden skewer, attach a paper sail and your ship will be unsinkable.

Vegetable ship

Vegetables can also be considered improvised materials and it is just as easy to make a craft from them.

Cut out the middle of the zucchini, scoop out the pulp, insert a stick and use a piece of paper to make a sail. Add details: cut small windows, make a sailor from carrots and potatoes.

A boat can be not just a craft, but also an option for serving a dish. Surely the kids will want to eat this one :)

Craft: ship made of sticks

You've probably accumulated a lot of Popsicle sticks over the summer. It's time to make crafts out of them. Wooden sticks will be an excellent building material. Paint them in different colors and start making them.

If you don't have Popsicle sticks, just go to your nearest park and collect small twigs. Fasten them together with a rope, add a sail and the boat is ready.

It's autumn and that means it's time to make boats with sails from leaves. They can be easily attached using a heat gun or a piece of plasticine. Here are some ideas:

Very beautiful and comfortable boats are made from tetra pack packaging. You can easily put your children's favorite toys in them.

And this is a detailed diagram for making a pirate ship from kefir or milk packaging. It is in English, but generally understandable.

A large cardboard box can easily be turned into a ship on which your child will be the captain.

From a smaller box, make a sailboat for his toys. You can turn any unnecessary object that can float on the water into a boat. For example, coconut shells. Place a couple of sheets of paper on a wooden skewer and secure it inside the shell.

You can also make small boats from Kinder Surprise eggs and walnut shells.
Add a spectacular sail to your paper ship for great beauty.

Wine corks are an excellent material for making small rafts. They do not sink and swim well, and are also very small and can even fit in a jar.

Egg trays turn into spacious ships. In their recesses you can easily place both Kinder Surprise toys and cute little animals.

A ship can be made from almost anything, even ice. Pour water into an ice container, insert the sticks and place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Make two holes in a sheet of paper with a hole punch, take out the boats and put the sheet on a stick, the sailboat is ready. A few more ideas for making a ship from scrap materials:

How to make a pirate ship from cardboard boxes

With a cardboard box you can go on any adventure.
We will need:

2 large cardboard boxes (the thicker the better).
Scotch.
Cutter.
Hot glue gun.

Since our box had a pattern, we turned it inside out. If your box is clean, then you don't need to do anything like that. Stand the box upright and cut 3/4 off one of the sides as shown in the picture.

Level the second cardboard box on the floor and cut off one side, leaving only three. The middle of the box is the bottom of the ship, the sides are the sides. Cut from the middle along the triangle from the top of the box. From the sides, also cut a triangle along the edges. The picture below shows what should happen.

Fold and glue the sides of the boat, as seen in the picture below, so that the sides are stronger.

Now glue the bow of the ship together with tape.

Place two boxes together and glue them together using tape and a hot glue gun. Our ship is almost ready.

We also cut out the porthole.

If you wish, you can make a sail from a piece of cardboard and a wooden dowel. To create a pirate flag, you will need a sheet of black paper. A skull and crossbones cut out of white paper is glued onto it.

Well, an anchor made from a piece of cardboard and rope will not be superfluous. And for the captain you can make a spyglass from a cardboard tube.

Let's sail towards adventure!

Important Details

A nautical-style room looks better with white walls and wooden floors. Against this background you can find a place for black and white photographs, thematic paintings and shells. The interior should not contain elegant furniture. It is better if it is simple and even somewhat rude. But interior items should be simple.

The nautical theme is supported by coffee tables and sofas, tables and chairs. But all this must have stable and massive forms. But if the room is small, light bent furniture is more suitable for it. It matches the overall style and fits in with its color and wooden base. The design of the room should have special objects that add special sophistication. These could be antique bottles and a steering wheel made of noble wood.

DIY ship out of a box

Children of any age can make interesting and unusual crafts from a box with their own hands. At the same time, the higher the level of their skill, the more neat and beautiful the craft is, and the more complex tasks they can perform.

For beginners, a cardboard ship would be a completely suitable idea. Making a ship out of a box with your own hands is quite simple because the main part of the ship - the deck - is already made. It is enough to give it the necessary resemblance to a real water transport - and the craft is ready.

In such a ship you can go on a real voyage around the apartment.

DIY ship out of a box

We turn the box into a boat as follows:

We cut out a round hole in one of its side walls - a porthole. To do this we use a stationery knife.

Cutting out the porthole

We paint the hull of the “ship” in suitable marine colors. Striped white-blue-blue boats look beautiful, but this is a matter of everyone’s taste.

Blue and cyan paints for coloring a ship

Paint the ship blue

We make a steering wheel from white chenille or ordinary wire. To do this, we connect the ends of the segment, forming a circle from it, to which we attach short straight pieces of wire. It is easier to work with chenille wire because parts made from it do not slip. You can cut a steering wheel out of cardboard or mold it out of plasticine - all options are good in their own way.

We make a sail from a piece of fabric and a cocktail tube. You can make a variety of sails using not only fabric, but also paper, polyethylene and various other materials. In this case, the main thing is to give the child the opportunity to use his imagination.

To create a ship deck, you can tape a piece of cardboard inside the box. Now the box looks like a ship not only on the outside, but also on the inside.

Secure the deck

We connect the elements of the ship, the paint on which by that time had most likely already dried. We attach the parts to the deck using polymer glue or wire.

The ship is ready out of the box

Ready!

Let's now draw a pirate treasure map. To give it an antique effect, we can tear it at the edges and dirty it a little with a black shoe sponge.

Pirate map with antique effect

All that remains is to recruit a truly brave team, and now our DIY cardboard ship is ready to sail. There is nothing more interesting for children than inventing games with such voluminous, and even more so, homemade decorations.

Considering local weather conditions

To clarify the dimensions of a boat anchor, thereby adapting them to specific weather and other conditions, it is necessary to take into account the following aspects:

The highest wave height in the selected body of water;
The maximum speed of the winds blowing there;
Features of the boat bottom configuration;
Length and thickness of the cable.

The most popular varieties

The most popular options for anchor structures today are:

Hall Anchor;
Cat;
Kurbatov's anchor;
Mushroom-like anchor for fast river fishing;
Universal Danforth anchor.

Each of these varieties has its own pros and cons. Having carefully studied the photo of an anchor made with his own hands according to the canons of the listed models, an experienced fisherman will accurately select the most suitable one.

Ineffectiveness and risk of injury of substitutes

Significant disadvantages of such anchor substitutes include

Bulkyness, forcing the entire bow of the boat to be dedicated to their transportation;
Possible presence of sharp corners and edges, which is dangerous both for the fisherman’s hands and for the integrity of the boat sides;
Unreliability of fixation on the cable, creating a high probability of its spontaneous untangling.

The only case when the use of such bypass structures is advisable is fishing in a very quiet backwater with an elastic and deserted sandy bottom.

On a muddy, soft bottom overgrown with algae, such a pseudo-anchor can do a disservice to the fisherman.

Fishing in calm water

There is no need to explain that without an anchor, fishing in a stormy sea or on a windswept lake will be fundamentally impossible. However, this does not mean that you can fish in calm water without an anchor at all. One way or another, the boat, especially with high sides, will move from the originally chosen place.

A light breeze is enough, and the craft will imperceptibly move ten meters away from the good biting zone.

It is possible that it will be occupied immediately and until late in the evening by a more far-sighted fisherman who has taken care of the presence of one or two anchors of different designs.

Careful selection of a suitable design

Even the most successful anchor design for fishing in a cozy bay may be of little use for going out to sea from an open beach.

That’s why you shouldn’t grab the first drawing you come across, which has earned a lot of praise from guests of this or that fishing forum.

At the same time, a competent approach to choosing geometry will significantly increase the comfort and effectiveness of fishing.

The main disadvantages of factory anchors

Anchors offered in specialized stores are often brought there from manufacturing plants located several thousand kilometers away.

Accordingly, the purchase of such a product will entail:

Completely unjustified high costs;
Frustration caused by the inability of the fixing device to the conditions of local latitudes.

Refusal of workaround technologies

Experience in fishing from a rubber boat gives a clear idea that an anchor must have at least a couple of elements of a classic design, namely horns with spikes at the ends. At least one of them will be able to cling to the bottom soil and go deeper into it.

As for all kinds of substitutes in the form of bags of construction waste, pieces of reinforced concrete, bales of sand, they will most likely only be able to slow down the drift slightly.
