Many interesting crafts can be made from ordinary matches. Most often, houses are made from matches, and we will try to make a mock-up of a ship, and without the use of glue. You will need about 6-7 boxes of matches, a coin, a stand (you can use a box from under the disk) and wire cutters for this.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a stand, put two matches parallel to each other at a distance of about 2.5 cm. Put a layer of 8 matches on top, and then another one of the same kind perpendicular to this layer.
Step 2
Now put the so-called well, consisting of 7 rows. Lay out a layer of 8 matches on top so that the heads are facing in the opposite direction from the bottom row. Next, lay out a row of 6 matches perpendicular to the previous one and opposite to the bottom row, put a coin on top.
Step 3
Now insert 4 matches in the corners of the well so that the heads look up. Put the remaining matches in the same way and take out the coin.
Step 4
Take the resulting structure in your hands and squeeze the cube on all sides to make the matches even in the corners (this must be done carefully so as not to break). Now turn the result upside down and insert the vertical matches that serve the walls. Lay out the horizontal walls with their heads in a circle.
Step 5
Now you need to pull out the top five matches, but not completely, but in the form of a ladder, and then put the boat on the bottom. Next, between the pulled out matches, place with a jack 2, 4 and 6 matches, respectively (fasten the last row between the third and fourth pulled out match). Install 7 matches parallel to the fourth pulled out match, which will press the entire dense row. Fasten inclined matches between the upper, pulled out and lower matches, then the matches need to be tightened a little.
Step 6
We start making feed. To do this, take out the lower central row of 7 matches and insert a reinforcing row of 7 matches, placing them on the side with their heads facing you so that their tails come out on the other side (this is the third row from the bottom, it should be free). From the same side, insert 4 matches and 4 more matches on each side.
Step 7
Now lay out dense rows of matches and insert 9 matches on top in order to press these rows. Place slanted matches and press down on the resulting structure. The boat is almost ready, on the upper deck you can stick several heads of matches for decoration.
