The method of making a dragon boat is as follows:

Prepare materials: three colors of cardboard, scissors, glue, pencil, colored paper, transparent glue, and hard cardboard.

1. Draw a long box on cardboard as the main body of the dragon boat. The hull of the dragon boat can be represented by a long box. Draw a picture of a long box on cardboard as the main body of the dragon boat.

2. After drawing the edge line of the long box, use scissors to cut out the edge of the box along the line, making sure to keep it neat.

3. After cutting out the edges of the three-dimensional box shape, fold it according to the drawn lines to form a three-dimensional box.

4. Then paste the two sides of the folded box with transparent glue and fix it, so that the outline of the hull is roughly revealed.

5. Fold a piece of colored paper in half and draw the image of a dragon head on the paper with a pencil. Then hold the folded paper tightly and use scissors to cut out the graphics.

6. Fold a piece of colored paper in half and draw the image of a dragon tail on the paper with a pencil. Then hold the folded paper tightly and use scissors to cut out the shape.

7. Take out the brightly colored cardboard, and then draw graphics such as dragon horns and whiskers on the cardboard of different colors, and cut them out along the lines.

8. Then draw dragon boat decorative graphics, paddles and other graphics on cardboard of different colors, and cut them out along the lines.

9. Then divide the cut graphics into two groups. The dragon boat has two sides. Divide them into two groups and paste them on the box. It will have a three-dimensional effect and be more vivid.

10. Then use glue to paste a set of graphics representing each part of the dragon boat according to the image of the dragon boat.

11. Then paste the graphics of each part of the dragon boat on the box. The dragon head should be pasted inside the box. The dragon tail should be assembled at the back of the box. The decorative pictures and paddles should be pasted directly on the box. Pay attention to the decorative graphics. color matching.

12. Only paste one side of the dragon boat, and the cardboard will shake a little. Then paste a set of graphics on the other side of the dragon boat to increase the three-dimensional effect. In this way, a complete handmade dragon boat is ready. .

Notes

1. Select materials: Dragon boats are generally made of wood, and it is very important to choose high-quality wood. Tough, water-resistant wood is ideal, preferably using multiple layers of plywood.

2. Appropriate shape: The shape of the dragon boat is very important. It must be ensured that the width of the hull is larger than the height, and the bottom is flatter than the top. The front of the dragon boat should be higher than the rear to reduce water resistance when moving forward.

3. Production process: Make a template in proportion according to the size and shape of the dragon boat, and then cut the wooden boards according to the template. The planks are glued together to form the hull, which is then trimmed to shape and size. Paste dragon patterns and paintings on the outside of the dragon boat to make the dragon boat more vivid.

4. Strengthening structure: In order to make the dragon boat stronger, supports and strengthening brackets need to be added to the hull structure. Bamboo poles or iron frames can be used to strengthen the dragon boat structure to maintain stability under strong waves and currents.
