3D Picture: Whale and Pirate Ship

To create a 3D picture of a whale and a pirate ship, you will need:

- a canvas board measuring 24 x 30 cm

- a half polystyrene egg (15 x 11 cm)

- acrylic paint and a paintbrush

- Posca markers

- 2 googly eyes Ø 2.5 cm

- 3 blue chenille stems (length: 30 cm)

- strong white glue

- colored cardstock

- 3 corks

- a wooden skewer

- stickers

Paint the entire surface of the canvas board with blue acrylic paint.

Feel free to paint with different shades of blue to create beautiful effects.

Once the surface is fully covered, let the paint dry for about 15 to 20 minutes.

With blue Posca markers, draw waves or other abstract patterns on the canvas board.

Paint a half polystyrene egg with blue acrylic paint to create the body of the whale.

Glue 2 moving eyes Ø 2.5 cm on the roundest side of the egg.

Cut out the whale's tail from a blue cardstock, then glue it under the egg with strong white glue.

Wrap the tail around a pencil to give it volume.

Plant 3 blue caterpillars of 30 cm on the back of the whale, then curve the ends of the caterpillars.

Stick the whale onto the canvas board using strong white glue.

To create the base of the pirate ship, glue 3 cork stoppers side by side onto the canvas board.

Draw and then cut out a boat sail about 10 to 12 cm high from a stiff colored card.

Once cut out, insert a wooden stick through it, as shown in the photo on the right.

Decorate the sail in your image using stickers, rhinestones, paint markers ...

Using a compass, make a small hole in the central stopper to insert the wooden dowel and the sail.

If necessary, adjust the wooden dowel with a pair of scissors.

Here is a lovely 3D picture that little sailors can proudly display in their rooms!
