    How to Make a Paper Boat

    Step 1: Fold a sheet of paper in half from top to bottom. Step 2: Fold the top corners down to the middle to make a triangle. Step 3: Fold each bottom strip up. Run your thumbnail along each crease, the sharp fold line, to make it flat. Step 4: Pull the bottom of the hat open and press it flat into a square. Step 5: Fold the bottom corner up to the top on each side to make a triangle. Step 6: Pull the bottom open again and press it flat into a smaller square. Step 7: Gently pull the two top points out to the sides. Your boat pops into shape!
