For the sea and clouds:

• Cut long strips of different types of blue paper. Along the top of each strip cut out a wave shape.
• Stick each strip down to a large sheet of paper, leaving the wave on top, unstuck.
• Cut some cloud shapes along the top of a strip of white paper.
• Stick this strip behind the waves.

For the island:

• Cut out an island shape from yellow paper.
• Stick the island to the page making sure the waves cover the bottom of the island.

For the palm trees:

• Peel the top layer from some corrugated card. Cut out a tree trunk shape (do in sections).
• Cut out leave shapes from different coloured green paper and stick to the trunk.
• Make two of these and stick either side for the island.

For the hammock:

• Using fruit netting – arrange of the page in a hammock shape stretching from one tree to the other.

For the binoculars:

• Take a sheet of black paper the same size as the artwork.
• Fold in half and cut out three quarters of a circle from the folded edge.
• Discard the cut out section and unfold the black paper to reveal the shape of binoculars.
• Stick this black paper to the artwork. It will act as a border and will look like the island is being viewed through a pair of binoculars.
