How to Make a Brighton Beach Bathing Box:

1. Hold together two sheets of cardboard 25 x 21cm and fold a crease line 3cm in from one edge as shown. Fold the sheets in half.

2. With the two open sheets held together, cut across one half to the crease line and then a triangle off each corner of the second half.

3. Separate the two sheets and lay out flat.

4. Glue coloured Popsticks on to the front of each sheet, from the fold line in, and across the sheet. Start at the bottom of the sheet and work the sticks up the sheet slightly overlapping the previous one.

5. Glue Popsticks on to each triangle and when dry trim the edges.

6. When both sheets are completely covered and dry join the two sheets together to form the structure of the bathing box. Use the uncovered flaps on each end to fold into the other sheet and secure with Masking tape.

7. Border each side of the front and back triangles with three Popsticks.

8. Cut a rectangle of Corrugated Cardboard big enough to form the roof and glue the card into place. Decorate with strips of Wave Corrugated Card.

9. Glue a rectangle of Wave Card on to the front of the bathing box for the door.

10. Cut one white Chenille Bump into four equal lengths. Bend each piece to create four seagulls. Glue on small tufts of grey feathers and two Joggle Eyes.

11. Use a Low Melt Glue gun to glue a seagull on to a length of Florist Wire and glue the wire to the bathing box. Glue other seagulls to the roof of the bathing box.

12. Decorate the box to create a unique design. 11cm 11 cm
