Summer and Maritime Crafts - Wood Crafts - Wooden Sailboat

This small sailboat is the perfect decoration to give any room a maritime look any time of the year. This wood craft is quick and easy for novice woodworkers, too.

This project measures approximately 21 cm high or 8.4 inches high. You may increase or decrease the patterns to fit your needs. Experiment with different colors of materials to achieve a completely different look.

 

Instructions:

1. Print out the sailboat pattern and create permanent templates.
2. Trace the boat pattern onto wood and saw out.
3. Sand the wood if necessary. Paint the boat and the mast pieces white and let paint dry.
4. Drill a hole in the top center of the boat 1.5 cm deep and glue the mast into the hole.
5. Paint the white curtain ring with red stripes and set aside to dry.
6. Fold a 18 x 24 cm or 8 x 10 inch piece of blue material in half with the short ends matching. Open the material and cut a piece of fusible web to fit one half and fuse in place.
7. Fuse the second half on the first and trace the sail patterns onto the fabric.
8. Cut sails out with pinking shears and glue onto the mast using wood glue.
9. Make a few knots in a piece of twine and attach to the swim ring. Hot glue these now to the boat side.
