To build a cedar-strip canoe, you will need basic woodworking skills, patience, and a budget for materials and tools.

To create a miniature canoe, cut a rectangle of bark to the length and twice the height of the boat you want to make. Gently fold it and use craft sticks, clear silicone, clippers, all-purpose crazy glue, and birch bark to create side tabs between the two canoes. Pinch the bark along the center line that divides the two canoes to create a unique and functional canoe.
