This is a cool way of personalizing your ship. Lego pieces, knickknacks, ornate buttons, figurines, and more can be hot glued to the front of your ship as a figurehead. You can also make your own figurehead from spare cardboard. Cut out a square of cardboard and paint your own design on it. A simple painted skull-and-crossbones hot glued to the front of your ship will give your enemies the chills. Rigging refers to the ropes used on ships. Fasten thread along the sides of your ship with PVA glue. When the glue dries, your ship is finished. Simple rigging only needs to be glued to the sides of the ship. However, rigging can be as simple or complex as you desire.

Summary:
Give your ship a figurehead. Add rigging to your ship with yarn and enjoy your ship.
