Create a view from a boat window... a porthole complete with real water!
You will need:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cut out two circles from some cardboard box card. They need to be the same size - you could draw round a plate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Place a smaller plate or saucer inside each, and draw around them as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cut out the middle section of one of the circles, to leave a porthole shaped frame. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stick some small circular bits of card around the rim so they look like bolts. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then paint it all in a metallic colour! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you need to create a view for your porthole, to put onto the other piece of card. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choose some pictures from old holiday brochures or magazines. Arrange the scene you want. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build up a picture to cover the whole inner circle. When you're happy with the layout, glue all the pieces into place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Put some water into the self-sealing bag that's a similar size to your picture. Do this over the sink and make sure the bag's sealed properly. Don't add too much water - you don't want it to burst or leak! Use sticky tape to strengthen the seal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carefully tape the bag over the picture, making sure the sticky tape is underneath where the rim's going to go so it won't be visible. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, place the porthole frame over the top. Fix it into place using glue or tape. Remember to tuck in any overhanging corners. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the frame is secure you're ready to look through your porthole! Give it a squeeze to create a wave! Try it yourself! |
