Probably everyone has faced the problem of choicegift for dad, but there are a lot of interesting solutions and various ideas. For example, having come from the sea, many bring with them completely different shells, and from them you can create bizarre crafts. Men like means of transportation, hence the idea was born - to create a boat with your own hands as a gift for dad.To make a boat from seafood you will need:

Three large shells are flat-shaped, which will form the basis of the entire structure.

One raman, it can be taken in any size. The larger the size of this shell, the more massive the ship looks.

Small flat shells that will form the "fluttering" sails.

Glue is required to secure the entire structure.In this case, the best option in choosing glue is a melting gun and a rod made of liquid plastic. This material perfectly bonds all the parts and does not leave dark stains on the work.

Sticks as the basis of sails, it can be skewers for shish kebab or turned branches.

The rope is dense, not very thick.

You need to start working by forming the base.For this, glue three shells together, with the wavy side facing in different directions, and with the side where there is a straight line, they need to be brought together in the center. The joint is filled with heated glue on a glass or tile surface. It is better to glue the parts on both sides, that is, turn the shells over and squeeze the glue from this side to the joint of the parts.Wait until the glue dries and proceedassembly of the second "floor" of this structure. The large shell should be washed and dried. If you collected the shells yourself after a storm, you will have to boil them for several hours beforehand so that the rapanas are cleaned of mud, various substances and acquire a pink appearance. You can use souvenir shells, which are sold already cleaned. Apply glue to the center of the base in a longitudinal line and fix the main part of the ship in the form of a shell.When the glue dries and the structure becomesstable, you can move on to creating the mast. For this, you will need three sticks measuring 10-20 cm, the larger the rapana, the higher the sails will be. Squeeze a large drop of glue into the recessed part of the shell and fix the skewer vertically.The adjacent sail slats are created in a similar manner.way. It is important to ensure that all three bases of the sails are in one row. The next step is to create the appearance of tension in the sails. That is, you need to glue a reduced twine to the mast and stern to tension the material, but since we have imitation sails in the form of shells, the fastening will have a different character - just fix the thread on all parts of the ship in any combination. In this case, the thread is stretched from the stern to the back of the ship through all the upper points of the beams, wrapping around each vertex.We begin to form beautiful sails fromsmall shells. To attach them, you will need liquid glue again. Place the sails in the same order, that is, with the rounded part pointing straight down. Each beam holds 3-6 shells, depending on the size of the entire structure.The rest of the ship's beams are designed in a similar manner.way. The shells can be placed equally on different sticks, or in a checkerboard pattern. But when using a prototype of a real ship, strive for neatness and symmetry.In 10 minutes all the glue will dry and a charming gift for dad is ready. The fact that it was made with your own hands and the parent will surely like it brings special warmth to such a present.At the last stage, the structure can be covered with varnish. This will ensure the durability of the souvenir and give it a certain smoothness and beauty.
