How to Make a Paper Boat.
Let your imagination float away with this classic paper boat.
You will need Piece of paper and flat surface.
Step 1.
Lay the paper on a flat surface.
Fold the paper in half lengthwise.
Use paper larger than the standard 8.5- by 11-inch size for a larger boat.
Step 2.
Fold the two corners of the folded edge in toward the middle to form a point.
Step 3.
Fold the loose rectangular edge on the top side of the paper up over the flaps and fold
down the overlapping triangles at the ends.
Then turn the boat over and repeat on the other side.
The paper should now resemble a hat.
Step 4.
Turn the hat 90 degrees and open it.
Lay the upper and the lower parts on each other.
Step 5.
Fold the lower triangle flap upward and onto the upper triangle.
Then turn the boat over and repeat with the other side.
Step 6.
Open the resulting square, putting the upper part on the lower.
Step 7.
Open the flaps, revealing a triangle sail in the middle of your new paper boat.
Now you are ready to sail away.
Bon voyage.
