DIY paper boat (diagrams, templates). We form the application “Boat” Templates for making a ship from paper

The body can be made of wood (for example, pine) or plastic (expanded polystyrene), using a ready-made body of a toy polyethylene boat. The engine will be a small tin can, which is filled 1/4 of the volume with water.

The history of the legendary Russian cruiser Aurora, without exaggeration, can be said to be known to everyone. It is still in service, but now as a museum in St. Petersburg. For those keen on DIY ship modeling, we offer you to download the blueprints of this legendary cruiser. The drawings contain details...

The racing boat model we offer you to build develops high speeds thanks to air lubrication created under the hull. For this purpose, the model has vents with directional air supply.

We invite you to build another model of a paper ship - “Norwegian Viking Ship”. This is a very simple model. The model will be available for production for children starting from 6-7 years of age.

Paper model of the ship "Albatross".

The model is assembled according to the traditional scheme - in three stages. The frame is glued from the parts that make up the keel and frames. Then it is covered with side plating, deck, and superstructures are glued. Finishing with small details and setting up the sails completes the work. This sequence not only simplifies...

The model is assembled from several parts: the hull, deck superstructures and sailing equipment. Making them separately will simplify assembly and avoid the pitfalls of poor-quality gluing. We recommend starting work in a well-lit place, downloading the scans, and printing them on a printer. Prepare...

A ship made of paper - "dinghy."

All details of the model are shown in the drawings in reduced form, on a scale of M1: 1.5. Draw the drawings of parts A and B on sheets of paper from a regular sketchbook, and draw the drawings of parts C, D, E on cardboard of the same density as sugar packaging.

For model making enthusiasts, sheets of pressed and glued wood veneer have always been one of the most sought after materials. They are easy to cut, perfectly processed, drawings of ships made of plywood are easy to find on the Internet, and therefore it is with plywood patterns that many craftsmen begin their acquaintance with modeling various ships.

Making models with your own hands is a very difficult task, requiring a significant amount of knowledge and a certain skill. In this article we will only talk about the most basic techniques, and you will hone further skills yourself.

Materials for work

If you want to make a small model of a ship, then you will need the following materials:

Wood - cedar, linden, walnut or other wood, preferably soft and non-fibrous. Wood blanks must be smooth, without knots or damage. Wood can be used both as a material for the main elements of the model (hull, deck) and for fine detailing.
Plywood is perhaps the most popular material. For ship modeling, either balsa or birch is used, since these are the types of wood that provide the minimum number of chips when sawing. Model ship plywood, as a rule, has a thickness of 0.8 to 2 mm.

Note! Sheets of beech veneer of thin thickness are sometimes used as an alternative to birch: although they are inferior in strength, they bend much easier.

Veneer – thin plates of natural wood of expensive species. As a rule, it is used for veneering, i.e. pasting surfaces from inexpensive material.
Fastening elements - thin chains, laces, threads, brass and copper nails.

In addition, we will definitely need wood glue, cardboard and tracing paper for transferring templates, etc. Fine detailing is made from metal casting. As an alternative to metal, you can use colored polymer clay.

Preparing for work

Any work begins with preparation, and modeling will by no means be an exception.

First we need to decide what we will build. If you have not previously dealt with shipbuilding art, we recommend downloading drawings of a ship made from plywood online: as a rule, they contain all the necessary information and are understandable even to a beginner.

Note! Kits are available for sale that allow you to assemble a ship from ready-made parts. Beginners will be interested in such kits (although the price of most of them is quite significant), but it is still better to master the technology from the basics.

After analyzing the drawing, we check whether everything necessary is available. In principle, if something is missing, you can buy more a little later, because building a ship (even a miniature one) is not a quick task!

After printing the drawing, we make templates for the main parts.
We transfer the templates to .

Cutting out and assembling parts

You can cut blanks using either a manual or an electric jigsaw.

The latter is more expensive, but with it you will have less trouble cutting out small parts:

We make a starting hole in the plywood sheet into which we insert a file or jigsaw blade.
We cut out the part, trying to move exactly along the marked contour.
We process the sawn workpiece with a file, removing small chamfers along the edges and removing the inevitable chips and burrs.

Advice! Working on one element (deck, sides, keel, etc.), we immediately cut out all the parts necessary for assembly. This way we will spend significantly less time, and the work will move faster.

When everything is ready, we begin assembling our ship.

First, we put transverse frames on the longitudinal beam - the keel. At the bottom of each frame there is usually a groove for fastening to the plywood keel.
For joining, you can use standard glue, or you can use special adhesive mixtures intended for ship modeling.
We attach the upper parts of the frames to the deck. For simple models, the deck is a single sheet of plywood, while for complex ones it can be multi-level.
After the glue on the frames has dried, we begin to sheathe the sides with thin strips of plywood. The thickness of the material should be no more than 1.5 mm, since only in this case we will be able to bend the skin without the risk of damaging it.
For bending, you can heat and humidify. After this, the material will bend without difficulty, and over time it will acquire a stable shape.

Note! The body can be covered with a continuous sheet for painting. But to imitate plank cladding, it is better to use strips up to 10 mm wide (depending on the scale).

We fix the glued plywood with clamps and clamps and leave it to dry.

Final finishing

By and large, this is where carpentry ends and art begins.

When the body is assembled and dried, we need:

Make from thin plywood and secure deck superstructures.

Extend the sides so that they protrude above the plane of the deck.
Cover the surface of the deck with wooden veneer or outline it with an awl, imitating plank cladding.
Make and install all the small parts like the steering wheel and steering blade.
Secure the masts with all additional devices (the so-called spar), install the sails and stretch this entire structure using rigging threads.

Finally, all plywood parts must be treated with stain and varnished. This will provide our souvenir with at least a couple of decades of preservation.

Conclusion

Almost anyone can make a simple plywood boat with their own hands - just patience and minimal skills in working with a jigsaw (read also the article). But if you want to implement a complex drawing with many small details, then you will have to work hard. That's why we recommend starting with the simplest models and gradually increasing your skill!

In the video presented in this article you will find additional information on this topic.

We suggest making a gift for dad from the child with your own hands. There are different options to consider. We suggest making a ship out of cardboard. The main thing is that parents don’t need to invent anything. Templates for the ship can be found here.

This craft and applique is a ship. The essence of the work comes down to the fact that you need to print the template and cut it out. For convenience, the templates are offered in two versions - black and white and color. Black and white is suitable if the handmade gift for grandfather is made from colored cardboard. In this case, you need to print a sheet with templates, cut out the templates and use them to cut out parts on colored cardboard.

If you don't have colored cardstock on hand, you can print out a colored template and glue it onto white cardstock. You can download the template by clicking on it.

So, how to give a gift to dad. First, cut out part 1 and make 2. Glue them together.

Now we cut out two parts with the sea. We fold it as in the picture.

We glue the details with the sea on both sides of the ship.

The part of the sea that we folded is straightened out on a flat surface. It will be the base.

There is very little left. You need to choose a mast. A balloon stick would look great. It can be cut from the bottom so that it easily fits into part 1.

Glue the main flag on top. It also needs to be cut out in two versions and pasted over the top of the mast.

Now take a thick thread or thin rope. And we pull it from the mast to the edge of the deck.

Now we glue small flags onto this thread. And that's it, the ship is ready.

By the way, you can use not all the parts and make a smaller boat.

Preschool children are very fond of creativity: modeling, drawing, crafts from colored paper, various kinds of applications. We’ll talk about the latter in more detail in this article, and consider options for working in various techniques. Photos, video materials, detailed descriptions and step-by-step instructions will help us. By working with children, we help develop perseverance; the child tries to do everything carefully, which is also very important for him in the future.

During the work process, it is necessary to ensure that the child glues all the figures evenly; if it doesn’t work, help. This activity can be done with children in kindergarten. The boat applique will be interesting not only for kids in the younger group, but also for older children - involve the children in the preparatory group in the work, complicating the lesson with three-dimensional details. Let's move on directly to the master classes, there will be several of them today.

Applique of a steamship and a boat “Along the waves”

Geometric sailboat

Prepare necessary materials:

Set of colored paper;
scissors;
ruler;
pencils.

Step by step writing work:

Marine geometry

And this is the favorite children's applique “Steamboat and Sailboat”. Download the diagram of the steamship and sailboat, print the picture on a printer. Using this stencil, make different vessels. Explain to the children what the difference is between these types of ships. The work is a little more complicated than the previous one, but not by much; children in the middle group of kindergarten can do it. Below are a couple of different boat designs, you can choose any one your child likes. Help your child cut out all the shapes to make a boat applique. A great idea for any kindergarten group would be to make boats with the children according to the same template, sign them and stick them on a previously prepared common background. Such collective work can be called “ships in the roadstead”

Video lesson on geometry for the little ones, using the example of a boat:

Steamboat made of colored paper

The applique is very simple, even beginner needlewomen can do it.

Prepare:

Cardboard set;
a set of colored paper;
a tube of glue;
scissors.

Manufacturing process:

Using the proposed diagram, cut out blanks from colored paper sheets.
Glue 2 blue waves onto the cardboard base.
Then stick on our boat (deck and mast).
On top of the deck, between two waves, glue another one.
Now add alternately yellow sails and a blue flag.
To complete our craft, make some clouds and a seagull.

To create an unusual boat applique, you can experiment with the color of the shapes and their shape. Add to the picture a bright sun, blue sea and white seagulls.

By creating an applique, the baby’s creative potential is greatly enhanced and fine motor skills of the fingers are developed. By paying attention to your child and creating masterpieces together, you will delight your child and bring many pleasant moments to the whole family.

This picture is usually made for men's holiday and given to dad or grandpa. It can be made in kindergarten not only by older children, but also by younger children - novice craftsmen. This MK will usually interest boys.

First, using a template, draw with a simple pencil the outlines of the ship itself, and then cover it with pieces of plasticine. You can also cover the vessel with colored paper, having previously cut out blanks of geometric shapes. For children, both options are interesting, the main thing is to attract and interest them.

Ship made of cereals

Mk is not difficult, but children from the preparatory group can do it more accurately. Take any cereal, a tube of liquid glue, a brush, thick white paper, a set of colored pencils or markers.

Volumetric applique “Boat”

The idea with sailboats is interesting, and therefore it will be more interesting to make crafts. This technique is a little non-standard, since the sails will have to be made in volume. This can be done in several ways: glue the workpiece exclusively along the edge, tucking it in a little; or fold the sail in half, securing only one side. Using this technique, the applique looks more original.

In addition to the boat itself, you can make other components of the picture voluminous, for example, a cloud.

Three-dimensional applications will be made with great interest by kindergarten students in the senior group; for them this master class will not be difficult.

Older children can develop their own thinking and imagination, improvising with colors, geometric shapes and the number of parts and the boats themselves. For example, children in the preparatory group will do an excellent job with the applique “ships in the roads”. Below are the ideas for this work in a photo report.

Fabric applique of a boat on clothes

You can turn ideas into reality in different ways, for example, make boats out of felt and sew them onto a children's item. Even for a simple T-shirt or shirt, you can come up with something new that your child can participate in. The fabric boat applique needs to be secured using hand stitches. For the lower part you need to choose a piece of fabric in blue shades, for the sail - white.

We suggest gluing one of the light models paper sailboat. Creating a three-masted sailboat will be an interesting activity for several hours.

The difficulty level of the model is average, however, even a beginner can glue it together. The main thing is to carefully read the instructions and, in order not to get confused, glue the parts sequentially.

To print out diagrams of sailboat parts, you can use either a black-and-white or color printer. This won't really affect the appearance. If something happens, you can color the sailboat with pencils.
The diagrams can be printed on thin cardboard or a sheet of whatman paper. However, if you decide to print the diagrams on photo paper, then your sailboat will be able to float in the water for a while, and then, of course, become limp.
To cut out parts, use sharp cutting tools, scissors or a utility knife. Then the parts will have smooth and neat edges.
To create curved parts, use a pen or pencil to wrap the paper around it and give it a rounded shape.
Make the masts of the sailboat from paper tubes created from paper wrapped around a pencil.
When making folds of parts, use a drawing ruler and a sharp sticker. Place a ruler along the bend line, draw a sticker along it so that an indented line remains and bend it.
You need to cut and glue the parts sequentially, this will prevent you from getting confused when making the sailboat.
When gluing parts, try to use a moderate amount of glue.
While gluing, use tissues to dry your hands, otherwise clean paper may show marks from dirty fingers.
