Tiny Shell Sailboats




The boat is made of a three-quarter-inch white cowrie shell, with a 1-inch white ark shell for the sail. The masts are tiny dowels or toothpicks trimmed to 1 1/2 inches, and the bowsprits are made from straw. 

A single black thread connects the top of the mast to the base. A red thread ties to each straw and wraps around the main mast.

The whole thing is put together with hot glue and glued to a square wooden base.
