Today I will be teaching you how to make a magic origami boat.

Start by Having Your Origami Paper on Your Table With the White Side Facing Up

Fold the Paper in Half and Unfold It

Rotate the Piece of Paper 90 Degrees and Repeat Steps 2 and 3 So You Have 16 Small Boxes

Take the bottom left corner of the paper and fold it over to the top right corner of the paper and unfold. Then take the bottom right corner of the paper and fold it over to the top left corner of the paper and unfold.

Flip the Origami Paper Over to the Colored Side

Fold the paper along the two small diagonals on the bottom of the paper. Push and fold the excess paper down so that it forms a rooftop/boat like shape (but this isn't the magic boat!). Repeat this step for the other side so it looks like a six sided diamond (see pictures above).

Go to One End and Fold Up Each Triangle So It Looks Like a House on a Boat
