Good afternoon my dear Hive family, for me it is a pleasure to share with you every experience, job or just a past time. Here you are greeted by your longtime friend Antonio Morales, from Cantaura, Venezuela.
This time I will be showing you the step by step of how to make a boat inside a bottle, but in miniature size.
The materials I used were:
.- Una botella con tapón.
.- Un trozo de madera.
.- Tijeras.
.- Silicón o pegamento:
.- Alambre de cobre.
.- Hilo elástico.
.- Una servilleta.
.- Lija de carpintero.
.- Lápiz.
.- Pintura.
.- Pincel.
.- Pinzas.
.- Un hisopo sujetador de plástico.
.- Arcilla húmeda.
.- Un trozo de cartón.
.- Un palillo o mondadientes.
.- A bottle with a stopper.
.- A piece of wood.
.- Pair of scissors.
.- Silicone or glue:
.- Copper wire.
.- Elastic thread.
.- A napkin.
.- Carpenter's sandpaper.
.- Pencil.
.- Painting.
.- Brush.
.- Tweezers.
.- A plastic bra swab.
.- Wet clay.
.- A piece of cardboard.
.- A toothpick or toothpick.
Realization step by step.
Take the piece of wood and cut it about 2 centimeters and mark the shape of the boat with the pencil to begin to shape it by carving with the knife.
Once the shape of our boat is made, it is rubbed with the carpenter's sandpaper to remove any abnormality to our piece and a hole is opened in the upper part with the knife, here the mast of the boat
A small slot is opened with the knife on the front and back of the boat, being very careful not to break our piece.
Here I gave my boat some color, with pale pink paint (you can use whatever color you like) and cut a piece of the handle of the swab about 8 millimeters. The handle or holder of the swab must be plastic and hollow inside, since this will serve as a hinge for the mast of the boat,
I inserted the piece of the cotton swab handle into the hole I made in the boat, put some glue on it and made a spiral made of copper wire to cover the glue and serve as decoration.
Cut a 1.5-centimeter piece of the toothpick or toothpick, put some glue on it and put it inside the piece of the swab handle that is in the boat.
I painted the hatches to my boat blue paint and it looks great.
I put a little blue paint on the clay, so that it would be the sea where the little boat would sail.
With the tip of the knife I introduced a little clay into the bottle, flatten it with the brush holder, leaving it a little rough and let it dry for a few minutes.
On the napkin I painted some spots with green and yellow paint, this time use a paint palette, and so the sails of the ship will look a bit old and worn.
I cut a piece of the elastic thread and tied a knot in one of its ends and passed it through the slot in the front of the boat, stretched it just a little, passed it over the mast and then I inserted it into the slot in the back of the boat. There the sails of the ship will go.
Once the clay was dry inside the bottle, I gave it a little white color so that it would be the waves of the sea.
The boat is placed on the napkin to cut the sails.
A little glue is placed on the elastic thread that is in the boat and the sails are fastened.-
I placed a piece of copper wire in a spiral shape on the neck of the bottle, to make our boat look very elegant.
On the cardboard place the bottle only to draw a circle and then cut it, this will be used for the base where the bottle of our boat will rest.
I put some glue on what would be the base.
This step will be one of the most exciting and careful of this process, since here we will introduce the boat inside the bottle. The mast of the boat must be bent very carefully and inserted into the bottle. hahaha quiet it is not going to break !!! Because the piece of handle of the swab, being plastic, is flexible and with the help of the elastic threads, when leaving the boat inside the bottle. Everything will return to its place and the sails will look great, straight and ready to sail.
You just have to accommodate the boat with the brush and put the cap on the bottle and voila, our boat is ready to sail.
Nos vemos pronto, mil gracias por su hermosa atención.
