Make your own pirate ship

If my son where younger, I think I would talk him into a pirate party just so I could make one of these.  This pirate ship made out of a shoebox was used as a cupcake display, and the brainchild of Little Blues Room.  I love her step by step instructions on how to put the ship together.  If you did not want to use it as a cupcake  display, it looks sturdy enough that it could be a very cheap toy for a child.  Check out Littlebluesroom.blogspot  to see how to make one of your own.
