In order to make a boat out of origami paper, you do not need a bunch of tools. Enough to get the paper of the desired color, patience, and you can begin the creative process:

1. Take an A4 paper sheet.
2. Fold the leaf in half (try to do this as evenly as possible).
3. Fold the workpiece in half again, so that it is clear where the center is.
4. Bend the top two corners to the center of the sheet.
5. We bend the lower part of the product (rectangles) to the upper (triangular part).
6. Fold the triangular corners first with the bottom rectangle, and then with the top. As a result, you get one big triangle.
7. Expand the workpiece from below so that you get a square.
8. In the part where the square opens, we bend one corner up.
9. Turn the sheet over and fold the second square in half.
10. Gently pull the top corners of the square and turn the boat around.

Important! To make the ship more stable and well kept on the surface, unfold the “bottom” before letting it sail.

4. Lay it on a flat surface vertically, pull one long rectangle.
5. Fold the corners in the middle.
6. Do the same on the back of the figure.
7. Bend the product in half.
8. Open the boat in wide.
9. Bend the corners to the center of the figure.
10. Expand the large triangles and make the sides of the boat.
