You begin making the sailboat after making the Hat. Despite them being paper,
the boats can actually float! That is, as long as the paper isn't soggy.
I find that laminated paper can actually float for forever as long as the boat is properly made.
 1) Fold the Hat. |
 2) Position the hat like this, with the dome facing up. 3) Fold two of the edges on the two corners inside of the other two. |
 4) Push the model on it's side then flatten it. It should look like a diamond. |
 5) Fold the bottom flap, top layer only, up. 6) Flip it over, then repeat the fold. It should now look like a right triangle. |
 7) Stick your finger in the bottom of the model, and make the creases on the sides the creases on the front/back. Do the opposite too. |
 8) It should look like the diamond in step 10, but smaller. There should be a small stripe in the middle. |
 9) Bring the bottom points up the sides. As you do it a bottom should form. |
 9.5) This is what it should look like part way through the step. |
 9.75) This is the end product of the step 9 fold. |
 10) Position your hand like in the picture, then gently curve/uncrease the creases, so the hull is rounded. |
All done!
Now have fun making more sailboats and floating them!
