To create the beak, fold the gold paper in half, draw a design similar to the one shown, and cut it out. Glue it to one end of the gondola. Draw a decorative line with glue on the side of the boat, and sprinkle the glue with glitter.
To make the gondola stand, fold a 2 x 8-inch strip of construction paper in half. Cut a notch in the center that is 1-inch wide at the top and 1-inch deep. Tape the ends together and set your gondola into the notch.
