Cardboard Pirate Ship

What could look better sitting on your window sill or swinging from your ceiling than an awesome hand-made pirate ship? If you’re feeling especially creative you could even swab the decks with paint afterwards.

To make the cardboard pirate ship you’ll need:

Some Newspaper
An Egg Carton (take the eggs out first!)
Some String or wool
PVA Glue
A Hot Glue gun or you could try Super Glue instead
Some Scissors
A Pencil (to roll the newspaper)

Some colouring pencils or paint (optional)
