Ahoy, sailor! These beautiful ships are easy to make from foil. They are made from foil covered with straw silk paper and terracotta pots. Bring the maritime feeling home with this decoration! Set sail and get crafting straight away!

How to make the boats from foil and terracotta pots:
Transfer the templates to the pinwheel foil and cut them out. Tear the straw silk paper into large pieces and ideally combine two different motifs. The straw silk paper will hold better if you first apply napkin varnish to the pinwheel foil, place the straw silk paper on top and then coat it again with napkin varnish. Punch holes in the centre of the top and bottom of the sails. Pull a round bar through each of these holes.

Paint the terracotta pots in the colours of your choice and fill them with flower arrangement foam. Plug the sails into the flower arrangement foam and fill the top with sea shell granules and shells.

Attach a wooden ball to the top of each sail, preferably painted in the same craft paint as the terracotta pot. Now decorate the terracotta pots with the fishing net ribbon, sea shells and your desired decorative elements.
