It is easy to make a toy boat from a simple sheet of paper and put it on sailing along the stream and along the water expanses of the bath. You just need to remember a simple instruction on how to make a boat out of paper, how to fold it in order to get a structure stable on water. This is a simple but very exciting business.
Parents can make paper toys for small children; older children can learn this simple art themselves. A series of video tutorials offers master classes after watching which you can superbly build entire fleets of paper boats yourself. They will become soaked over time, but you will have time to make new ones.
The video tutorial details the following steps:
- bend A4 sheet in half, then in half again;
- fold the corners of the sheet to the center;
- bend one of the remaining strips up and bend the corners, the same on the other side.
Next, open the resulting square and add it along the other axis. Bend the corners to the center, but not completely. If the points to which the bend is made are placed at different heights, the bow and stern of the boat will have different heights, which will look interesting. Then again the square is folded along the other diagonal. It remains to open the structure by pulling the opposite ends with your fingers and slightly trim the resulting boat.
It can be placed on a table, it will be stable. He might as well be able to float on the water. Now you know how to make a paper boat.
Video lesson:
To make a boat out of paper with your own hands, you must:
- take a sheet of paper measuring 20 x 20 cm and fold it diagonally, then along the other diagonal and unfold it;
- bend one of the corners of the sheet to the center;
- fold the sheet diagonally several times.
Then several small triangles are bent, and a series of bends are made, during which the boat's tube and other elements are formed. To do everything right, you must adhere exactly to the instructions of the video tutorial. The stern of the boat is folded and its halves are fixed with glue. This is the only place where the structure is not held by the forces of paper bending, but requires the use of glue.
The boat resembles a modern pleasure boat in its shape, has a fast-paced appearance and is very stable both on a hard table surface and on the surface of the water.
Video lesson:
The proposed step-by-step instruction in the video tells how to make a neat pleasure boat with rapid outlines out of paper. On sheet A4, by bending two diagonals, a regular square with diagonal bends is marked.
The strip of paper remaining after the formation of the square is folded in half, the corners are folded on it. The marked square also folds in half, and its sides are folded inward. Instead of a rectangle, a triangle is obtained. The whole structure is folded in half, the fold lines are neatly ironed.
This is followed by a number of sheet folds, which are easy to reproduce by watching the video tutorial. In the end, the paper structure turns inside out, forming a neat flat-bottomed boat that is very stable both on water and on a hard surface.
Video lesson:
Making an origami paper craft is very easy. It is enough to take a square sheet of paper and bend it diagonally. Then one of the sides of the resulting triangle is bent as shown in detail in the video. The fold lines are well ironed. The square then unfolds and all fold lines fold in the opposite direction.
Actually, this is where the manufacture of the boat ends. It has no bottom, there are only beautiful sides in the shape of the bow of the boat. The free edge of the paper triangle depicts a sail spread over the boat. Such a sailing boat, of course, will not float, but if its rear edges are glued together, it can become a beautiful silhouette that can be placed on a table or hung on a string.
For origami, it is not functionality that is important, but figurative similarity.
Video lesson:
A small capacious boat can be made from a sheet of A4 formant paper, which is quite capable of floating on water and even transporting any cargo. A square sheet of paper obtained from A4 format is folded into a rectangle, then each of the halves is folded several times, while the corners are folded that form the profile of the paper vessel.
The outlines of the bow and stern are formed by different folds, in the end, a punt with high sides is obtained. In children's games on the water, such a boat can serve as a good vehicle. She does not get wet for a long time and does not disappoint young sailors.

Surely all of us remember from childhood how to fold a boat out of paper. Along with paper airplanes and snowflakes, these are the figures whose schemes are passed down "from generation to generation." And how fun it was to launch boats in the first spring streams! However, in addition to the "classic" boat layout, there are many others that resemble a variety of sea and river vessels. In this article, we will look at popular paper boat schemes.
We will start with the simplest and most familiar of all the models.
How to make a "classic" paper boat
1) Take a rectangular sheet of paper (you can take a regular A4 sheet) and fold it horizontally in half.
2) Fold the workpiece in half vertically and bend it back.
3) Fold the side corners to the midline.
4) Bend the bottom of the workpiece up along the line of the corners (front layer - in front, back layer - behind).
5) We bend the side corners of the bent planks inward.
6) Grab the center points and drag to turn the triangle into a square.
7) Fold the bottom corners up (front layer - front, back layer - back).
8) Stretch the workpiece again along the center points.
9) We pull the lapels on both sides - our figure straightened out, and we got a real boat!
And also, using the origami technique, you can make a pretty yacht - this is a very simple model.
How to make a yacht out of paper
1) For this figure, we need a square sheet of paper. It is better to use special origami paper as it is thicker and holds its shape well.
2) We place the sheet "at an angle to ourselves" and bend it in half and unbend it back.
3) Turn the sheet over at an angle of 90 degrees and bend it in half.
4) Bend the bottom corner to the middle and bend it back.
5) We carry out the shape "Hat".
6) The yacht is ready! The figurine can be painted with felt-tip pens and a paper flag can be glued on top.
The paper steamer cannot be called origami in the full sense of the word, because we need scissors to make it.
How to make a paper steamer
1) To make a steamer, we need a square sheet of paper. It is better to use special origami paper as it is thicker and holds its shape well.
2) Fold it diagonally.
3) We bend the bottom corner from the bottom up slightly obliquely and turn it back.
4) Make an inward fold along the fold.
5) Cut the top along the contour in the shape of a pipe.
6) The paper steamer is ready!
How to make a boat out of paper
1) To make a boat, we need a square sheet of paper. It is better to use special origami paper, because it is denser and keeps its shape well.
2) We outline the diagonal inflections.
3) We place the sheet at an angle to ourselves and bend the corners to the center. Then bend them back again.
4) Bend the ends of the corners to the fold lines - you should get small triangles.
5) We make one more turn from each corner to the center - a workpiece in the shape of a square should be obtained. We turn the workpiece over to the other side.
6) Bend the top and bottom half of the workpiece towards the center.
7) Bend the corners.
8) Fold the right side to make a triangle with an acute angle.
9) Repeat the same with the left side.
10) Fold the top and bottom towards the center.
11) Open the middle and turn the shape inside out.
12) Turn the workpiece over and pull out the sail.
13) Our paper boat is ready!
How to make a paper sailboat out of paper
1) To make a sailboat, we need a square sheet of paper. It is better to use special origami paper, because it is denser and keeps its shape well.
2) A sheet of paper must be positioned at an angle to yourself and outline the fold diagonally.
3) Fold the right and left corners to the midline.
4) Fold the bottom up and turn the workpiece over.
5) Fold the right and left sides towards the center.
6) Fold the workpiece down using the valley action.
7) Roll the top corner, set the sail at a ninety degree angle.
8) The paper sailboat is ready! If you blow on it from the side of the sail, it will "float" on the table.
And finally, we present the most complex figure - a boat.
How to make a boat out of paper
1) To make a boat, we need a sheet of A4 paper. It is better to use special origami paper as it is thicker and holds its shape well.
2) Fold the sheet in half.

For greater clarity, we suggest watching the following video tutorials, which show in detail how to fold paper boats using the origami technique.
Hello, friends!
Those who have always had a passion for the sea and water transport will take a lot of pleasure from our craft today. It seems that our paper boat will also be to the taste of representatives of the older generation, who, when they were young, entertained themselves by launching ships in rivers and lakes.
It will not be difficult to make such a paper unit, and to make it even easier, we, as usual, will visually consider the process in detail.
So, to make a boat out of paper, we need:
- a sheet of colored square paper (we use a size of 20x20 cm);
- stationery glue.
First of all, we bend our workpiece diagonally, from corner to corner, into two equal parts. Then we turn the sheet 90 degrees and do the same, forming a kind of cruciform bend. Having received the central point, we bend a corner to it, carefully smoothing it:
Then we bend the sheet in half, like this:
Following this, we bend the right side along the midline of the bend:
Layer the resulting fragment, forming a pocket with your hand, as shown in the figure:
Now we smooth it out as follows:
In the next step, we start working with this resulting square. We bend its upper part, forming a small oblong triangle diagonally:
We do the same with the second side. Thanks to such bends, it will be very easy to make such a convex triangle:
We smooth out the folds well and unbend this section of paper back. Then we bend a small corner of the top of the triangle and repeat the previous manipulation. This will be the pipe of our boat.
We tilt this pipe to one side and cover it, folding the left side in the form of another triangle:
Now we turn it back, tilt the pipe to the left and do the same on the right side. We carefully mark the places of bending and open the sheet back.
We now bend the lower triangles along the fold lines in this way:
Now we pry the central corner with the thumb of our right hand and raise the elements of our structure, folding it:
We smooth it well. For those who did not succeed, we should get the following construction:
We smooth the resulting workpiece over the surface of the table and fold its lower part, thus obtaining the board of our boat made of paper:
Now we turn the structure over, and along the line of the resulting fold, we bend the board in the other direction.
Now, perhaps the most difficult trick: we unfold the workpiece and bend the sides along the intended bend line, getting the following picture:
The resulting lines and folds are carefully smoothed. We end up with something very similar to the desired boat:
But the work is not over yet. Let's continue. Bend the back edge, about 1.5-2 cm inward:
Now we make another fold on top:
On the other hand, we repeat the same thing. As a result, we get the backs of the board of our boat made of paper, which we need to glue together to get a closed contour:
It is enough to smear with glue only one side, along one plane of the fold. After carefully gluing, we get a finished paper boat, ready for exploits and tests:
We hope that the work was not very difficult and you succeeded. Now teach your friends this, make boats of different colors, decorate them with flags, sign and you can even arrange a competition. This is best done during the spring season, when current streams can be used.
Create and develop, good luck!
A full video of the process of how to make a boat out of paper, you can here:
Do you want to spend leisure time with your child, but do not know what to do with it? You can make a boat out of paper together. This pastime develops imaginative thinking and fine motor skills of the hands. Thanks to origami classes, the baby will become more calm and diligent. In this article, we will describe in detail the process of making a paper boat.
To make a boat, take a rectangular A4 sheet of paper. Fold it in half horizontally. Now unfold the sheet and fold it vertically. When unfolded, the paper will have two folds. Now fold the corners so that they meet in the center of the canvas. You should get a triangle with small sides. Fold one of them inward and place it on the triangle. Turn the product over and fold the collar on the other side. Bend the protruding corners inward and make a square out of the triangle, expanding the lower part of the product. The folded corners will now be in the center of the diamond. Fold the diamond diagonally on the other side so that it forms a triangle. Repeat the previous step, pulling out the edges of the triangle. The result is a square. Pull the corners of the figure out. The boat is ready.
To make a boat, you have to try. The order of work is completely different from the manufacture of a boat-boat. To do this, take a square piece of paper and fold it diagonally. Be sure to slide your finger along the fold. Unfold the paper and do the same on the other side. You should get a square with auxiliary lines. Now connect the opposite corners in the center. On the other hand, do the same, just so the corners are not touching. There should be a distance of 1 cm between the vertices. Bend the shape in half. Now drag out the corners of the triangle. It should make a boat.
You can make a sailboat, which the Japanese like to fold. It differs from the classic boat that we are used to making. Take a square piece of paper and fold it diagonally. Bend the two corners along the center line. Connect the bottom and top corners in the center to form a horizontal strip. Bend the two side lines vertically. Now make a straight line from an obtuse corner, bending it perpendicular to the base. The sail should form on a flat triangular base. Such a boat floats perfectly during gusts of wind, so it can be launched on a river.
Want to make a long paper boat without a sail? Fold a square sheet in half. Now join the sides in the center. You should get a rectangle with the ends of the sheet in the center. Bend the edges towards the center on each side. Before you is an elongated hexagon. Now bend the corners again, only now the seam should not be in the center, but at an angle. Do this on all sides where the corners are. You will get a rhombus, the corners of which need to be connected in the center. Holding them, pull out the sides of the boat, straighten the origami.
The boat can be painted as you like. If you want to play boats with your child in the bathroom, then take thick, colored paper for making crafts. It is not necessary to paint it, since during water procedures the paint will be washed off the surface.
The paper boat is a wonderful craft! It develops fine motor skills (if you fold the crafts carelessly - the boat will not work), it perfectly trains spatial thinking, and besides, you can go outside and play with the resulting boat! Alone, in the company of friends, with parents. Organize a sea expedition or speed race. Ships can be made of colored paper, painted and painted, and a crew of small toys can be chosen for them. In bad weather, you can launch boats in the bathroom, and at the dacha - in the basin ... In a word, practice these schemes and you will not regret it!
Simple paper boat
It is such a boat that most dads will be able to fold out of paper, and many mothers too. And if you make it out of a sheet of newspaper, you get quite a bearable headdress!
In the days of the Soviet Union, such were popular with finishing workers - they perfectly protected from lime splashes, and after the end of the working day they simply went to the disposal. Well, the scheme of such boats is very, very simple!
If in childhood you were not fond of origami and now look at the diagram of the boat with bewilderment - here's a video for you: in detail, clearly, accessible.
Steamer with two pipes
The second most popular origami boat scheme "from childhood". Without any doubt and without a diagram, you will remember how to make it, but, just in case, we post the diagram and video.

An interesting detail - it is this origami scheme that does not seem to be found at all on foreign sites devoted to children's crafts.
So maybe this is our Russian steamer! And with two pipes!
Ship with sails
But such a boat, on the contrary, for some reason is not popular with Russian children. It is not at all difficult to make a romantic boat with sails; moreover, we have found two whole methods leading to the same result. It should be noted that such a boat is not so hot, but it looks beautiful, and on our streams it is also fresh and unusual!

* Tip - when watching a video, turn off the sound, for some reason, duringexactlyduring these filming, in the background, someone was painstakingly torturing musical instruments.
Wise boat
The scheme of this boat is called "Tricky boat", sounds a bit like the word "trick". The name can really be translated as "cunning, tricky, confusing". Well, it's not for nothing that she got such a name! After sitting over the diagram for a good half hour, the author could not fold the boat.

Fortunately, a video was found on the Internet, and the complex immediately became simple. I must warn you, for the first minute and a half the piece of paper is simply crumpled and smoothed in all directions (apparently, this is a necessary condition for performing a clever trick), but then the real magic begins!
Do you want to do something with children, but do not know what exactly? Together with the child, you can figure out how to make a boat out of paper. Such an activity can develop logical thinking and hand motor skills. Thanks to origami classes, the child will be more calm and focused. The process of making a boat out of paper is completely simple and will delight any generation.
A paper boat can be made in a number of ways. Perhaps the easiest way is to find or draw a template with your own hands, cut it out of paper and glue it with ordinary glue, before painting it. The second method is to fold a beautiful boat, working according to the principles of the old Japanese art, which is gaining more and more demand. Origami gives you the opportunity to create beautiful, different models with minimal financial costs.
So, how to make a paper boat - step by step description:
Take a square piece of paper, colored or white. The corners of it will have to be bent towards each other, and then straightened so that the fold areas that cross the material are highlighted. Next, the leaf is bent 2 more times - vertically and horizontally to create 2 more lines, and after that, for the same purposes, bends must be made in all corners (that is, fold all the corners to the central part of the leaf so that a square comes out, and then straighten everything).
The main part of the work. First, the right, and then the left half of the leaf vertically folds into the central part. Then the lower part from the upper half is bent in the same way. The next step, which is difficult for many aspiring origami fans, is to pull the corners out on both sides.
That's it - your boat layout can be flipped up. The created model is slowly folded diagonally. The corner from the bottom must be raised and strengthened. Nice ship done. You can decorate the hull in one color scheme, the sail in another, and start playing.
First, paper is taken, it should be a square with straight sides. Then it is bent in half to make a triangle. The same triangle is then bent in half again, so that when unbending, the sheet looks like four schematic, but uniform geometric shapes.
We bend one of the parts and bend one of the corners into the middle. Then you need to make a corner to the middle, but so that it does not take up the entire volume. The fold is made from the open side to the center.
It folds back and a hat is created. A standard yacht is made of paper. But this craft cannot withstand the strong impact of water. It cannot even be run downstream of the stream.
Many people are thinking about how to make a paper steamer. Such a craft is considered a standard origami figure. It's actually pretty easy to make a steamer, but you need to follow the instructions.
The process of work, how to make a steamer out of paper:
In order to make it look even better, you can depict the portholes, and also paint certain places. This paper cutter can be a great applique for any postcard created by your child. To quickly and easily make a paper steamer, a folding scheme is a must.
Attention, only TODAY!
Making paper crafts is a great way to spend time with your kids. Making a classic boat, or small boat, is one of the easiest origami tasks. At the end of manufacturing, this craft can be launched. Most likely, as a child, you launched similar ships in puddles and streams. To create a paper boat, you need a rectangular paper sheet of any shape and texture. Well, and a guide on how to make a boat out of paper, if suddenly you do not remember how to do it.
Making a boat out of paper
To make a paper boat, you will need to perform the following actions:
For starters, stock up on a suitable rectangular piece of paper.
The resulting workpiece should be folded in half again, but in the other direction, and turned back. The result of these actions will be the formed center fold line.
Now you need to bend the bottom strip upward at the points where the corners are connected, which were discussed in the previous step.
The next step in the guide to how to make a boat out of paper is to fold up the remaining bottom strip. The result of these actions should be that the workpiece will take the form of an isosceles triangle.
Now you should place your thumbs in the resulting triangle and spread them apart on the sides. The result of such actions will be that a leaf from a triangle is transformed into a square.
After that, on the left and right sides, you need to bend the lower corners of the square to the top so that the workpiece becomes triangular again.
Well, the last action is to dilute the corners in this square in the opposite direction. The resulting craft should be straightened. The paper boat is ready.
Let your child decorate the resulting craft as they see fit. The child will happily decorate the boat using felt-tip pens or colored pencils. Each ship must have its own flag. You can use a toothpick and a piece of paper to make it.
Video instruction on how to make a boat out of paper
Well, that's all, when you know how to make a boat out of paper, you just have to bring this knowledge to life and send it sailing in a stream, or at least in a bathroom. To make the paper soaked in water more slowly, the bottom of the boat can be treated with melted wax or paraffin.
