Boat in a Bottle Kit

How do you fit a fully-rigged sailboat in a bottle? Discover the surprising secret and have fun as you craft this handmade work of art. Simple, illustrated instructions guide you step by step. You'll be following in the wake of sailors who began fitting miniature boats in bottles around the 1830s, when dark, opaque bottle glass gave way to clear glass, thanks to manufacturing advances during the Industrial Revolution. Display your finished keepsake with pride, or-like the sailors-give it to your sweetheart, family or friends. Bottle: 3 3⁄8" x 13/4" diameter. Requires scissors, glue and a clothespin.
