Origami Boat Variation

Video Transcript

"In this clip I will show you how to fold a boat variation. And this is a design by Didier Boursin, and it can be found in his book, "Easy Origami". This model requires a letter size paper, and what we are going to do is fold the long edge to the long edge; fold it in half down the center. Now open it back up, and we are going to do a cupboard fold by folding the edges into the center, and folding the edge into the center. Unfold, and for these three corners, we are going to fold this little triangle down to the first crease, to a line with the first crease. One triangle, second triangle, and third triangle. Now for this bottom edge, we are going to fold up this bottom edge along the top edge of this triangle here, like this. And when we do that, making sure that the creases align, and the edge is flush. Unfold, and fold the entire unit in half, turn it horizontally, and fold up this triangle up to that center crease. Same thing with this bottom corner; fold it up to the center crease. Unfold, and for these triangles that we just made, we are going to do a inside reverse fold right into in between the two layers. Inside reverse fold that, and inside reverse fold this."
