Sea of Thieves Foam Barrel
I’m a huge fan of Sea of Thieves and I play online every weekend with my love and his dad. As part of an inside joke, I made an explosive barrel out of foam as a Christmas present for my boyfriend’s dad. There were no patterns or online tutorials, so I just went for it. After a week of trial and error, I finished in the nick of time for Christmas morning.
