Ornaments by Elves

Ornaments by Elves give you the ability to fully customize your sailboat with words. They feature a Christmas themed sailboat but they also have other offerings to choose from.

This is the perfect gift to personalize for someone that loves to sail. If you have a steady hand, this is the time to add in your personal note or write the name of the person.

Maxora Personalized

Maxora gives you the ability to be creative with their sailing ornament. These can either come blank for you to add a personal touch or you can have them customize it for you.

These are best suited for decor around the house during the holidays. It might be too heavy to place on trees due to the weight of the sea glass. The price is also a bit higher than regular sailboat ornaments.

• Beautiful blue sea glass to remind you of the ocean
• Features light up string to make it come to life
• Claims to be durable and will not shatter
• Moderately priced compared to the market

Sailingstory provides you with three sailboat ornaments within one order to give you a quick boost to your sailboat ornament inventory. These come in different colors such as red, navy, and ivory to offer a blend on the Christmas tree. Keep in mind that these are the only colors it comes in, as you cannot request a different one.

The hull is made out of pinewood and comes equipped with a string for easy hanging. You could also potentially customize these if you have a steady hand, but keep in mind that they are assumed to be a finished product when they arrive.

• Great way to fill up a Christmas tree fast
• Best for those that have multiple people who love to sail in one family
• Could be customized if you have a steady hand
• Higher priced than others since you are getting three sailboats
• Only comes in those three colors at once

How to Find the Best Sailboat Ornaments

Finding the perfect sailboat ornament might be a tough task. You do not want to find something that looks cheaply made, as you want the person receiving it to be thankful for the gift.

There are a few ways to narrow down your searches if you take the time to research your results. Below are some tips to consider when you are contemplating a sailboat ornament purchase.

Price Point

You do not have to pay an arm and a leg to get the best sailboat ornament out there. Having a budget will likely be the best bet for narrowing down your results. If this is all you are buying for this person, you may want to spend a little more than just $10.

Most sailboat ornament prices hover around $10 to $20. However, some can easily exceed $100 depending on the materials and what it takes to craft it. This all depends on what you feel comfortable spending.

Specific to Boat

If you are trying to find a sailboat ornament that closely resembles a sailboat that someone has, that could greatly affect the time it takes to locate that ornament. It helps if you know the name of the sailboat and what type it is considered.

Do not be discouraged if you cannot find one that closely resembles the boat in real life. You could also contact a seller to see if they can customize your order to get as close as possible. Adding a personalized touch can make or break the look of the sailboat ornament, especially if you can add the person’s name or something specific such as “Family Christmas 2024”.

Compare Quality

Once you have found the perfect sailboat ornament, you need to compare prices and quality of the service. Looking through customer reviews will help paint a picture of what to expect when you place an order. It may not be worth the trouble if the ornament is prone to breaking or damage after a holiday or two.

You should also factor in the colors and materials that are used to construct these ornaments. If the paint is terrible and the attention to detail is not there, you may want to consider a better quality ornament.

Choosing Decor Instead

If you cannot find the perfect sailboat ornament, you should opt for sailboat or sailing decor instead. The same rules apply to finding one of these, as in you want a good price and quality made product.

Decor is still a great option, as you can find a nautical Christmas tree or something Christmas related with sailing. This way, the person receiving the gift can still show off the decor if they do not have a tree or if the tree is too small to hang a lot of ornaments.

DIY Sailboat Ornaments

Christmas/New Years · Coastal Christmas · Coastal Decor · Crafts · DIY · Tutorial

For the past few years I’ve enjoyed making a coastal ornament for my  coastal Christmas tree. This year I went with a more nautical vibe for the kids’ turquoise and red tree in their playroom and I made some cute DIY Sailboat Ornaments !  They remind me of the ships in bottles and they are easier to make than they look!

To make the Sailboat Ornaments you will need the following items: 

(Amazon affiliate links provided for your shopping convenience)

• (6) Glass Ball Oraments 3 inch
• 1 bag Crushed Shells in an Opalescent Mix of Blue Shades
• Bamboo Skewers, 6-inch 
• Small Clear Elastic Rubber Bands  (or orthodontic bands used for braces)
• a piece of white cardstock or printer paper

Step 2) Now grab 2 tiny rubber bands. I used my kids’ leftover bands from their braces! You can also find small elastic bands in the beauty section of any store, but braces bands work best. Slide one band over the 2 skewers exactly as pictured below.

Step 5) Let go and the boat base will pop into a horizontal position, which should be perpendicular to the mast.

Step 6) Cut out a paper triangle sail out of card stock or printer paper. Feel free to color it if desired. Place a small amount of hot glue to the back of the mast and glue the sail to it.

Step 7) Fill the bottom of your ornament with the crushed shells (Don’t add too much at first. You can always add more later). The reason why I used 3 inch glass ornaments vs. larger ones, is because these shells will make your ornament heavy!

Step 8) Twist the “boat” skewer so it is aligned with the mast (like in step 4) and start inserting it into the ornament opening. It will pop back in place as soon as it clears the opening.

Gently bend and tuck the paper sail so it will fit into the opening. Hold the top of the mast with your needle nose pliers or tweezers and insert the sailboat into the shells, pushing all the way to the bottom or until the “boat” part is sitting on top of the shells (water).  The shells should hold it in place. Use the pliers to adjust the position.

Are they adorable? I hope you try making some Sailboat Ornaments for yourself sometime!

Merry Christmas!

dear little paper mache boat ornament : a free tutorial

Everybody loves to go boating.

I’ve made you something!  A free tutorial for a dear little paper mache boat ornament. The boat is 5 and 1/2 inches long and 6 and1/2 inches high – a very nice size for very nice mice or tiny rag dolls .

They are quick and simple to make (really quick! make a bunch) and only require little bits of fabric, cardboard and other things you probably already have.  And the pattern scales up easily – if you’d like to make a larger boat. I think it is helpful to read through all the steps before you begin.

To get started download the dear little boat and sail templates here .

* You can click each image for a larger view.

1. Place the boat template on your cardboard and trace the outline. Mark the fold lines (the dashed lines on the template) in colored pencil. Use the BACK of the exacto knife to lightly score the fold lines. Cut out the template.

2. Gently fold at the scored fold lines.

3. Bring the front sides and bottom together.

4. Tape over the tabs with masking tape – it’s helpful to tear off several little pieces of tape so they are ready when you need them.

5. Tape over the outside seams as well.

6. Fold up the back of the boat and tape over the tabs as well as the outside cardboard seams.

7. Fold the boat bottom flap tabs toward the print side.

8. Fold the bottom flap into the boat and tape over the tabs

9. Fold the sides over – into the boat.

10. Tape along all the edges. We are ready for paper mache.

paper mache tips: Because the boat is small and our armature is sturdy – one layer of paper mache is enough. If you are making a larger boat use at least two layers. Tear small pieces of newsprint – roughly an inch or smaller – small pieces of paper create a smooth sturdy result- use the smallest pieces for covering corners, tight curves and edges. I like commercially prepared wall paper paste – available at most hardware stores Collect text scraps for embellishing.

11. Begin with the edges – paint paste onto the boat – apply a piece of paper and paint paste over.

12. After covering the edges fill in the rest of the areas. One layer of paper is enough for a small boat – two will make it even sturdier. If adding a second layer there is no need to wait for the first to dry.

13. Optional – When the boat is fully covered add text embellishments. allow your boat to dry completely.

14. I like the newsprint to show so I paint lightly with water color and acrylic paint thinned with water.

15. Pin the sail pattern to a double layer of cotton – right sides together. Stitch as shown – leaving the bottom corner open for turning right side out.

16. Trim off the excess fabric at the corners and turn right side out.

17. Press the sail – fold in the edges at the opening and stitch closed. I added a whip stitch with contrasting thread all around the edge and several patches.

18. For flags fold a two inch wide strip of fabric in half and press. Cut off 4 or 5 one inch squares. Stitch through the folded side with embroidery thread or string. Leave the ends long.

19. Glue a wood, spool or bead to the bottom of the boat ( wood glue is best). Apply glue to one end of a wood dowel or skewer cut to 6 inches in length.

20. Insert the glued end into the bead or spool and allow to dry completely

21. Add lengths of thread or string to each corner of the sail.

22. Use a large needle to poke a whole through the front and back of the boat and tie on buttons.

23. Make a loop in a piece of thread or string and tie it to your mast – add a little glue to the mast and wind the ends around. knot and trim off the excess.

24. Thread the loop through a wooden bead and glue in place. You could alternatively cover the top of the mast with a little flag.

Finally to rig the boat tie the sail to the top and bottom of the mast and wind the front string around the front button. Attach the flag string to the mast and buttons.

Thanks for sharing your talented.

Oh my, so sweet!! Thank you so very much for this adorable pattern/ tutorial. Let the Christmas making begin!!

I think these are great & it’s so nice of you to share them , I was thinking how maybe they would look as a Christmas tree decoration adding some small greenery & tiny balls what do you think could even make a Christmas mouse with a stocking cap like the Night before Christmas using the boat like a bed

So charming, I want to make 20! Thank you for sharing this lovely, adaptable, fun pattern! ♡

Ann, thank you so, so much! I can’t wait to try my hand at this. So generous of you, and the tutorial is so detailed. You are wonderful!

Thank you so much for sharing this, Ann! I can see a Christmas tree awash in little sailboats.

I hope you have fun with it – I’m making lots of them too!

I have purchased a small, white feather Christmas tree and am busy making every ornament for the tree! I think a few boats will look great on it… Thank you Ann , I always look forward to your blog.

I love a tree of homemade things – I’d love to see!

Wonderful Vivian – such a sweet thing to do for a grandson.

Found the little boat project on Pinterest. As a social worker in Vermont with 7-17 year olds this is a perfect solution to keep the indoor season lively. Thank you for your thoughtful contribution both to our kids and community skills workers.

Thanks so much, you have made my day. Happy the pattern can be useful to you and I hope the kids enjoy it. I have a couple other projects that have been popular with kids and might be useful too :

Thanks again,

Thank you soooooooo much!!!!! so sweet!!!

Thank you for the beautiful little boat pattern. Very kind of you to share it for free.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

I am in the process of making my first little boat, I absolutely love it. My favorite part is making the sails with the little patches. Another nice thing is that the materials are so simple, did not have to go the store to buy stuff. This one is for my great grandson, I’ll make a little treasure chest and put some “loot” in. thank you so much Ann. I appreciate your generosity. Atie from Southern California .

Hi Ann Wood. Your little boat tutorial is wonderful & you’re very generous to share your pattern & instructions. I wouldn’t worry about anyone trying to compete with your talent. You’re very talented & generous. Thank you very much! Kathie

So, I started a dear little boat yesterday (xmas eve) and finished it today. Customied for my future brother in law, who happens to love boats and have a familial connection to the Clark Thread co. How perfect could this be? It was a hit. Thank you! https://flic.kr/p/21N1geG

Thank you for the pattern! You are very generous in sharing them with us! It was quite easy to follow and thus create a beautiful little treasure for a very special Christmas gift. However, I did encounter one slight issue: my mouse’s fit in the boat was much tighter than the one you are showing in your tutorial. I might have stuffed him a bit more perhaps, but luckily he still fits! https://adrispalette.com/2018/01/02/little-mouse-on-a-boat/

Thanks for sharing this pattern. I’ve had so much fun making a little love boat valentine for my sweetie. Thanks for your generosity, which is as inspiring as your work.

Thank you Ann. I have just finished my first ‘dear little boat’ which is sitting on the mantlepiece. I love it. It will go from Australia with my husband to our Grandson in Texas who claimed it when he saw it on FaceTime. Inspired by you I have also used the top part of a takeaway coffee cup as an armature..moulded gently to an oval base. It works well and is perhaps more like Reepicheep’s coracle. Something to redeem the situation when you forgot to take your Keep Cup!

Fran B above introduced me to your beauty-full work. Thank you for your inspiration. I finished my dear little boat and my family, one 64 and the other 25, were delighted with it.

This is “Cartapesta”, not “Papier-Mâché”.

“The ‘cartapesta’ is the original term of Italy to name the technique that uses pieces of newspaper cut by hand joined by a glue to form objects, superimposing the layers of paper interlaced with each other and the glue again and again so that when hardening It gives us as a result a much more resistant and stiffer surface, the more layers more rigidity, with a result similar to cardboard. It should be distinguished from papier-mâché, a technique in which the base is pulp or paper pulp to mold the object or shape desired. It is used as a craft to make figures of all kinds, such as masks for carnival or adornment, sculpture]] s, frames, jars, trays, etc. To wrap as a decoration to another object, or to create hardness to fine surfaces of objects. The most ideal glue is the vinyl glue and the best paper is the newspaper because it is very malleable, but other types such as paper napkins can be used, among others.” It is left to dry and at the end with a fine sandpaper the surface is smoothed and later it is decorated with paint and if it is wanted that it has durability in the time a layer of varnish is applied to all this process. (Source: Wikipedia)

Hi Raúl, That is inaccurate, the correct definition of papier mache is paper fibers and a binding agent. Techniques using both paper pulp and strips or pieces can be correctly referred to as paper mache.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papier-m%C3%A2ch%C3%A9

And the English translation of Cartapesta is, in fact, paper mache:

I Must Say We Should Have An Online Discussion On This.

[…] softies.  The mouse is adorable, complete with the papier mache boat.   Velvet Elephant, and sweet […]

I know this is an older post, but I just saw the picture of the doll go past my pinterest feed and I had to come and say that she reminds me of the little dolls from the Beatrix Potter book, The Tale of Two Bad mice. ^_^ Sooooo cute!

Turned out perfect! Thank you so much for the pattern.

[…] This just makes you go, “aaawwww” it is so cute. If you want to make one of these little boats to decorate your Christmas tree or give as a gift pop on over to the link Ann sent in to her blog Ann Wood Handmade for the step by step tutorial on how to make a recycled cardboard boat ornament. […]

Your little boats are divine! I’m in lockdown in Melbourne, what better thing to do!
