1. Start with an A4 sheet of paper and fold in half lengthwise. Now unfold to make a center crease guide.

2. Now ‘mountain’ fold the sheet in half (and don’t unfold).

3. Fold the top corners in to touch the center crease. 4. Fold up the paper edges on either side of the triangles to make a ‘hat’ shape.

5. Open up the inside of the ‘hat’ and flatten the ‘hat’ so that it is a now a ‘diamond’. 6. Fold the bottom corners of the ‘diamond’ up to touch the top front and back corners.

7. Similar to step 5, open up the triangle and flatten it so it is a ‘diamond’. Flatten so that the sides are now the front. 8. Pull the top flaps outward like you are opening a ‘flower’. 9. Flatten the fold and open the final shape of your boat!
