A small boat

I developed this model in June 2023. It is a simple one. I recommend using thick paper to allow wet-folding.

(If you are using your phone to view this page, you'll see the images below better in landscape orientation.)


	Start with a rectangular sheet of paper.
	Make alternating mountain and valley folds.
	Fold into an accordion shape.
	Get the center, unfold.
	Towards one side (from the center) fold the model into a C shape.
	Repeat on the other side.
	Unfold.
	Convert all the zigzags formed in step 5 and 6 into mountain folds. You'll notice that the boat is slowly taking shape. Continue reinforcing the mountain folds.
	Notice that once a mountain fold crosses a zigzag, it changes to a valley fold; and a valley fold becomes a mountain fold.
	Push the three central mountain folds downwards.
	Spray some water in the regions circled and tie with a rubber band/clip. Allow it to dry.
	Done.
