Yesterday our crib mattress was delivered (at last!) and as I was about to take the box out to the trash I remembered this post on Design Dazzle with ideas for making things out of cardboard. It seemed like fate so I grabbed my craft knife and packing tape and got to work! Twenty minutes later we had a fairly decent Pirate Ship complete with sail and pirate flag! The boys loved it and it provided me with literally a WHOLE day of peace! That is a big time accomplishment when 8 months pregnant and hubby is deployed! Seriously-one of the best twenty minutes I’ve invested in a while!
(By the way when the picture above was taken the ship was filled with various creatures-I believe they were playing Noah’s Ark, complete with dinosaurs!)
Hope you like it and you all have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!
