How to Make a Paper Yacht

Video Transcript

"There are many different ways to make origami boats. My name is Robert Segundo and I'm going to show you how to make a yacht. What we are going to do is we are going to start with our square piece of paper and we are going to fold it over like so into our sheet fold or our shawl fold, however you want to think of it as. What we are going to do is we are going to open it up now and what we are going to do is we are going to take this point here and we are going to fold it in just a little bit, not all the way to the point. We are not really going to make a kite base with this, we are just going to kind of fold it over that far. Now what we are going to do is we are going to take this piece, fold it over the whole thing and then we are going to take it and fold it back to about, say about right there. As you can see this looks almost like the sails of a ship and now what we are going to do is we are going to take this, fold this up for the bottom part of our boat and then just take this and fold it out the water line here like so. Now we'll have that and we'll just kind of open that up and reverse fold that in and this really has a lot more striking if you do something that has one white side and a colored side on the other side so it really sticks out that these are the sails and this is the boat. But there you have it a pretty simple kind of a very abstract one but have one, play around with it, and enjoy."
