Step

Cut
a length of string and tie it to the end of one of the pairs
of rods. Place the rods over the top of the rows of corks
at one end.
|
Tie the rows of cork securely together
|
|
Tie
the four pairs of rods to the cork base |
|
Now
take the string underneath the first row, up and over the
rods, then under the second row. Make sure the string is
kept tight as you carry on weaving the string in this way.
|
|
When
you reach the end of the last row tie off the ends of
the string. Repeat this four times so that four sets of
rod are tied to the rows of corks at regular points.
|
Attach
a skewer as the mast |
|
Cut
out card for the sail |
|
Step
5
Take a skewer and place it pointed end
down in to the middle of one of the rows of rods second
from the end of the raft. Push it through the two sticks
and two pieces of string. |
Step
6
To
make the sail cut out a piece of card 12 cm by 15cm. Make
two small parallel slits that allow you to slide the sail
onto the mast. These need to be down
the middle of the long side of your piece of card. Make
each slit about 3cm from the edge.
Finally make a small double triangle to make a little flag
for the top of the mast
Now you can go and sail.
