Method:
1. Put your milk bottle or carton in its side. The pictures will show how to do this method for a milk carton.
2. Make a mark around the milk carton (refer to the picture), make sure this cut is only on 3 of 4 of the sides.
3. Put the piece that you cut aside for a moment.

4. Tape the skewer inside the milk carton so it sticks upward.
5. With the piece of bottle that you cut out, cut a hole about 2 cm from the bottom on both ends. Make sure the holes is just big enough to fit the skewer into.
6. Bend the piece so it is a semi-circle. Put the skewer in one hole and then the other hole to act as a sail. Secure with tape if needed.
7. You now have your very own boat! Put in a bucket of water or even a puddle! This can be used to see which way the wind is blowing and it can even be used to discover wind speed!
