Many people know that matches can be used not only for making fire, but also for making different crafts without glue and scissors. The most common item that can be made from simple matches is an ordinary house, but on the basis of this craft, you can make a lot of different shapes - for example, a boat made of matches. It is not difficult to build such a boat, even a child who has already assembled simple figures from matches will cope with its manufacture.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare a flat surface for building a boat - for example, a CD box, as well as six to seven matchboxes and a ruble coin. Place two matches parallel to each other on a plastic box so that the distance between them is slightly less than the length of one match.
Step 2
Lay eight more matches on top perpendicular to the first matches, and then lay another layer perpendicular to the previous layer. Now build on the prepared "foundation" a well of seven rows of matches, stacked so that their heads look in one direction.
Step 3
Having assembled the well, lay eight matches on top of it, with their heads directed to the side opposite to the bottom row. Lay out another perpendicular row and then press down with a coin. In the corners of the resulting cube, insert four matches with the heads up, continuing to press the coin so that the product does not crumble.
Step 4
Install a few more matches around the perimeter of the well, and then carefully remove the coin and squeeze the workpiece, aligning it. Turn the cube over and place new matches around the entire perimeter to make the walls. Place the matches with the heads in a circle, forming horizontal walls, and then pull out the top five matches, pushing them from below with another match, so that they form a ladder.
Step 5
Place three rows of new matches between the matches - the bottom row of two, the middle row of four, and the third row of six. Clamp the third row between the third and fourth drawn match. Insert seven more matches, parallel to the third and fourth, and then place a row of tilted matches between the top matches that you pulled out earlier. Squeeze the product to decorate the roof of the "house".
Step 6
To make the poop, pull out the bottom row of seven central matches and reinforce it with another row of seven matches, the heads of which should be directed at you, and the tails are on the opposite side.
Step 7
Insert three matches from the side, breaking off the two bottom matches. Stack a tight row of new matches, and then insert nine more matches on top to press down on the bottom rows. Strengthen the sides of the boat by inserting two more matches into the free holes in the fourth row from the bottom, and then squeeze the structure by installing inclined matches in the roof.
Step 8
Decorate the bow of the boat by placing two rows of 4 and 2 matches on two matches stretched out in the bow of the figure. Install a pipe of nine matches on the roof of the boat, and then decorate the sides.
