HOW TO MAKE A SHOE BOX FLOAT

1. Find a shoe box, with lid
2. Let your imagination run wild.
3. Decide on a theme.
4. Gather paint, construction paper, left over ribbon, beads, glitter, small toys, etc.
5. Glue, glue gun
6. An Island Times newspaper to cover your workspace, or if you are saving that edition, use some other rag
7. The shoe box is the body of the float, the lid can be attached, like a roof, or snugged up to the end of the box, like a back splash.
8. Wheels, yes if you want to. They can be made of cardboard, tinker toys, Oreo cookies, poker chips, pretty much whatever you'd like.
