Ship’s Porthole

What You’ll Need:

• round plastic lid
• construction paper
• scissors
• glue
• tacky craft glue
• rope or twine
• masking tape

How to Make It:

1. For the porthole, use a round plastic lid from a takeout container or a plastic top from a ready-made pie crust.

2. From construction paper, cut out a ship, water, and other details to make a scene that fits in the porthole. Glue the scene together, but don’t glue it in the porthole yet.

3. Add a few dots of tacky craft glue to the front of the scene, and place it facedown on the inside of the porthole.

4. Measure a piece of rope to fit around the outside edge of the porthole, or braid twine to make a rope. Glue it around the outside edge, using tacky craft glue. Let it dry.

5. On the back of the porthole, use masking tape to add a twine hanger.
