Welcome Aboard the S.S. Read

The Ship and the Sea

The Ship on the wall is constructed of wide strips of black and brown paper, separated by a white stripe (leftover wallpaper works) edged on each side with half-inch gold ribbon. For the ship's prow (front), taper the shape as shown, and mount a stick for the nautical nose.

At the front of the boat, sea foam of cotton batting laps the base of the prow, and floats against the wall's sea of bright blue paper, complete with stylized waves.

The off-the-wall ocean is a sea of blue tablecloth, paired with a length of blue knit that has a lustrous, reflective, wavelike pattern running through it. Add discount-store fish to add flavor.
