QuestionCan I make little cannons to go on it?
Community AnswerSure. Take a small piece of paper (the size of half of a sticky note); cut a toothpick in half; roll the paper into a tube; poke the toothpick through; add two round circles of paper (about 1 cm in diameter); poke them through the two ends of the toothpick; then trim anything to your preference. Add the cannons to the boat. -
QuestionDoes it look like the hat but the corners are bent?Community AnswerSomewhat, yes.
-
QuestionCan I put tape on it?Community AnswerYou shouldn't need to, but if you find it necessary, then yes, a little bit of tape to help hold it together should be fine.
