Gather Your Supplies:
These are the supplies for this project:
- Pirate Ship Templates, Download HERE
- Copy Paper
- Scissors
- Pencil

Create your DIY Cardboard Pirate Ship:
Step 1: Cut out the templates for the pirate ship. Trace the ship, large cross section, small cross section, and ship floor templates on cardboard. Cut out each of the cardboard shapes. Follow the dotted lines on the templates to make notches in the cardboard.
Note: See below for how notches should look.
Step 3: Slide together the ship and the large cross section using the longer vertical notch of the ship. Then, slide together the ship and the small cross section using the shorter vertical notch of the ship.
Note: See below for visual.
Step 4: On the right and left side of the ship, slide together the floor and the cross sections using the horizontal notches.
Note: See below for visual.
Step 4: Trace the sail template on a piece of white paper and cut out the shape. With a bamboo skewer, poke through the paper sail on the top and bottom. Then, poke the skewer into the corrugation of the cardboard.
Step 4: Enjoy!
