Ideas to somehow construct a small boat out of any materials?

Question

I have to make a boat for a school assigment. It can be made out of anything eg. Cardboard, Felt, sticks... ANYTHING. it just has to look like a boat. Doesnt need to float. Can't be a 5 minute thing. has to take a bit of effort..

How can i make one?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
