Equipment

  • 1 Hammer
  • 1 Pencil and Eraser

Materials

  • 1 Wood Slab
  • 1 Pack Nails
  • 3 Skein White Embroidery Thread
  • 3 Skein Brown Embroidery Thread

Instructions

  • Draw a boat (hull and mas) on the wooden slab. Use the hammer to place nails in the wooden slab. Erase the pencil marks.
  • Use the white embroidery thread to connect the nails in the mast to the nails on top of the hull. Keep the lines more triangular. It’s okay to have the wood showing.
  • Use the brown embroidery thread to cover the area of the mast and the hull. Cover the area enough that the wood is not showing through.
