Craft Stick Raft

Step  1.

Gather your supplies. 

Step  2.

To make the raft, lay down 7 jumbo craft sticks vertically. Glue 2 jumbo craft sticks horizontally across the 7 others to secure the shape. This will create the bottom layer of the raft.

Step  3.

Add glue to the 2 horizontal craft sticks. 

Step  4.

Glue 7 more jumbo craft sticks to the raft to make the top. 

Step  5.

To create the mast for the raft, glue the end of 1 jumbo craft stick to the middle of another jumbo craft stick.

Step  6.

Glue another jumbo craft stick to the bottom of the mast to secure the shape.

Step  7.

Run some glue along the bottom of the mast, as shown.

Step  8.

Attach your mast to the middle of the raft and let dry.

Step  9.

While the raft is drying, you can make the sail. Fold the top and bottom edges of your construction paper, as shown.

Step  10.

Turn over the construction paper and decorate with the foam stickers.

Step  11.

Use the clear tape to attach the top folded edge of the sail to the top of the mast.

Step  12.

Before you tape the bottom of the sail to the mast, push the sail up a little to create a nice puff in the sail, as shown. Then tape the bottom folded edge to the mast.

Step  13.

Your raft is ready to set sail!
