Alaska Boat for the Bean






This boat is another 'recycle project' made from a cut cardboard box layered with paper mache (grocery sacks and used paper). The little parts are just appliances that have been torn apart--I have a coffee can of little metal and plastic items--and lots of tiny screws. Tires off of old toys are the bumpers, hinge from a ugly jewelry box soaked in bleach to 'rust', computer parts, wires, and a watch inside for the steering wheel, dash area, and a spool + cardboard for the chair. Old painted beads for the net's floats...this was quite fun to make even though all the parts don't really do anything!
