First, mark the width of you wood. Draw circles at the places where you want to have your tealights. Then, design and draw the front and the rear of the boat. Then cut it out and tape the cardboard/ paper on the wood.

You can see that I drew three circles, I only made two holes, because otherwise it would be too narrow.

Put the five pieces together and tape it together. Then, turn the wood and draw the desired shape of the side on the wood. Make sure the gondola is heigh enough to put the tealights in.
