❣DIY Pirate Ship Using Cardboard❣

Hi, in this video tutorial I will show you how I made a pirate ship using some cardboard from pizza boxes, egg cartons, hot glue, thread, super glue and paint. It took me about 5 days to finish, working a couple of hours daily.
I started by designing the patterns. I had some idea of what I want to create so I drew the profile of the ship, then the top view of the deck. The ribs of the ship were a little bit of a guessing game, only knowing two dimensions from the side view and the top view. I used pizza boxes cardboard for the entire project. It was about 2 mm thick so I doubled the patterns to get a stronger framework. I made some long 15 mm stripes of the same cardboard and started gluing them to the framework. I started from the bottom of the ship and worked my way up. I overlaid each piece over the one before just a little bit. I outlined the railing top view using the deck patterns. You can make the railing wider, thicker or thinner. Mine was 15 mm wide and 6 mm thick. I made the pillars gluing 3 small 30 x 5 mm cardboard pieces together. I added some details using thin stripes of cardboard on the sides. Although these details are not so visible now, they will look great when making the patina. I also added some round and square windows. At this point I needed a stand for the ship. I decided to go for a rocky one, full of textures. I made the stand out of egg cartons. I broke the carton into smaller irregular pieces and glued them together. This type of carton is easy to bend and glue in any shape you want. I made the main three pillars by rolling and gluing the cardboard until I reached the desired thickness. One pillar is about 20 mm thick. The middle one is the tallest and it has 360 mm, the one in front has 320 mm and the last one has 220 mm. I made the curved sails by gluing two pieces of cardboard together and bending them while the glue is still hot. I used the cutting mat to help along with the bending. I added threads as best as I could. I am no expert in this so I googled some images for reference. Even though I had no idea of the correct way this should be done, the threads added a realistic effect to the ship, and this aspect was all that mattered to me. I glued the ends of the threads using super glue. The painting was easy for this project. I covered the surface in a dark color first. This will serve as a base. Make it go in all the cracks and the deepest holes. It will act like a shadow and contrast layer when we add brighter colors. I add a brighter color only to the surface of the texture, gently rubbing the brush with very little pigment so I don't get it in the cracks. On top of that bright color you can add other colors as well. You can make it brighter and more colorful, it's your choice. I went for a wooden look for the main body of the ship. I painted the sails white first and then added a diluted brown to the top and spread it gently and dissolving it to the bottom until the sail looked older and used. I hope you liked my video and got some inspiration to start your own projects. Have fun!

I just sit and watch with awe. You are simply awesome - a true artist. I wonder at the mean spirited person who gives this video a thumbsdown.

[@GarmanyRachel]

Is there anything you cant do?? So much skill!

[@shihanitheexplorer3845]

I too don't understand why people dislike. Simply because they are jealous. It's amazing. I say woooow.

I don't understand why people put dislike for the video it's great work

[@thegamethemovie9605]

Maybe because she put the ship on rocks? I thought she was going to paint the egg cartons blue - it would have looked even better. But this was a great build, regardless.

[@Phil00661]

Because they don't have enough talent to walk and chew gum ar the same time

It's not about the work it's about how it's presented.

Hoooooooooly heck, this is amazing! I can't- I can't even-!!! Every time I think you're awesome, you just escalate and suddenly it's just a whole other level! Ever think about doing a spaceship or space-station, or a Mars Rover or something, if you're expanding into new ideas?

We made it, though not near as detailed, but the template was amazing! Thank you! 3rd grader had a great time with this.

[@annieo9468]

Watching you work is positively captivating. Simply amazing. The only drawback, is that you make it look so easy....and I'm sure most of us know it's not...lol I love your creations...they are so incredibly well done. So many 'cardboard crafts' look cheesy....but you somehow manage to dispel that pitfall. I suppose it's because you are an artist as well...which shows itself when you bring it all together with your skilled painting techniques. Thank-you so much for sharing your art with us....it's an absolute pleasure to watch. You truly deserve the title of 'Creative Mom'.

I physically couldn’t keep my mouth closed whilst watching you build this. And not only using skills as a model maker... but your technical knowledge while setting out your pattern pieces!? Amazing amazing artist!! Thankyou for showing your beautiful work on KZbin...it wouldn’t be half as entertaining and informative without people like you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Pirates were evil. And their ships should have all been blown up & sunk! They were the modern day IS. The Jolly Roger is witchcraft.

[@tinareaume]

I think I like the cardboard ones best, of all that you do. I'm not sure about the paper clay but I think it would be fun to try. I have a dear friend who is moving back here and she wants to start some crazy pirate thing, so I think I may have a go at this. Thanks for the pattern and the great video! Thanks for all the great videos.

[@aminakishk6571]

Love it ! I will make the pointed out reaching sail pole that goes horizontal, to be more sharp at the end… and put a steaming wheel in , and a mascot beauty ornament at the front end, and a flag….the water should have some blue in it of different shades…are there some streams of banners at the top ? Maybe smaller sized stairs, and put some barrels on the deck, and the sail rest spots on the masts…..and some lamps…..

[@violinoscar]

Here is a thought; I think you should put together a collection of your creations, the plans and detailed instructions into a book and get it published. As someone who buys a lot of books on all things creative I think I can safely say there is nothing like this on the market. Your creations are certainly good enough. As a child my family was very poor and we were always encouraged to find inexpensive ways of amusing ourselves. We made cars, trains , boats . . . from sardine cans, toilet roll centers, whatever. This is a dying, but refreshing skill in this world of instant thrills. What a wonderful gift you have. Thankyou
