How to make a Sailboat: Marine decoration for parties and events 2017/06/06

 

In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to make a fun sailboat with logs recovered from the sea,

I hope you like it especially if you have plans of having a marine themed party

Materials

  • 1 triangular knitted carpet or fabric
  • 3 eye hooks
  • 2 threaded screws
  • 1 sea wood log to form the boat
  • 2 wooden sea logs for the mast and boom
  • Fine drill, fine bit
  • Handsaw

Sailboat parts

With a small handsaw cut the base of the stick that will make the mast, always looking to not lose the beauty of the stick and that the mast adapts to the base

I’ve left free uncut tips to bring out the natural beauty of the stick

Locate where the mast would go and perforate with the drill on the inferior part of the base and introduce one or two screws helping ourselves with a screwdriver, this is how we will set the mast

Locate the part where we will join the mast and the boon and make a perforation

Join the boom to the mast with the screw and screwdriver

Locate 3 points to place 3 eye hooks according to the dimensions of your sail and screw them with your hand

This is how the made process will look like until now

We place the crochet sail, but if you prefer you can cut a piece of fabric in marine colors or a pirate flag

Here is our finished sailboat, also with it you can give a marine touch to the decoration of your room... after the party

I hope you liked this guide and to continue with the marine theme I suggest the customized Ocean kit

Pleasure to make your party special
