How to fold a newspaper boat

What you need:

Simply take one leaf of your newspaper, and you're good to start building your boat!

If you are building a big boat, get a newspaper page. Otherwise, cut a portion to the desired size.

I have taken a quarter of the newspaper page.

Way of the making

Step 01

Now let us see how to bend the boat.

First, take the piece of paper and fold it in half.

Step 02

Then place the bent side of the folded part on top.

Fold the two corners of the section in the middle in the form of a triangle.

To ensure precise folding, be sure to check out the series of photos laid out below for your easy comprehension.

Step 03

Fold the upper part into a triangle and fold the lower two pieces up on both sides. When both sides are bent, it should be as follows.

Step 04

At this point, you'll have a folded newspaper taking on a triangular shape.

You can also use that part as a cap.

Now take that piece we've folded and bend it back the other way- just like illustrated in the image below.

Step 05

Keep the part we created as below. Fold the two corners into a triangular shape on both sides.

Again, it should have a triangular shape.

Step 06

Repeat the triangular shape as before.

Fold the two corners again and make a triangle.

Fold in the same way again.

Finally, make a triangular shape.

We've repeated the folding thrice now, focusing on consistency to keep that crisp triangle shape.

Step 07

You can see that we can move the triangular part that we made when you hold it, as shown below.

Move the two parts apart.

Step 08

We can finally build a boat like this.

Now, all you have to do is fill a basin with water and let your boat set sail. Or, why not wait for some lovely rainfall and watch your boat navigate through the beautiful rainwater-filled puddles?
