Simple Paper Boat

A paper boat is symbolic to everyone's childhood memories. The first paper craft that anyone learnt, was to make this simple play object. Come monsoons, and the newspapers were converted into these tiny and huge boats. There were competitions and experiments with the sizes. Whose boat sails longer and whose sinks?

Let's learn to make this simple joyful origami object.

For this we need
1. Craft paper

Thing to note is that the paper should be a rectangle and not a square.
Fold it in the middle.

Mark the centre and fold from both sides, like this

The open end should be at the bottom. Now fold one layer of the open end towards this triangle.

 Flip over and fold the second layer similarly.

We should close the edges to make a finished triangle by folding the open ends inside in alignment with the sides of the triangle.

Puff the cone and flatten it on the alternate sides.

Fold the open edge upwards - front and back both.

Puff the cone from inside once more and flatten it on the alternate sides.

Pull the open edges getnly to give it a boat shape.

 Enjoy!
