How to Make Foam Sailboats:
Step 1: Draw a boat hull and a triangular sail on foam trays. Cut out the pieces.
Step 2: Decorate the pieces with permanent markers. Draw a sail emblem and your boat's name.
Step 3: Put a line of fabric glue (it's waterproof) on the boat hull and stand up the sail in the glue. Use a straight pin to keep the sail straight until the glue dries.
