How to Make a Boat Out of Paper
The rainy season without an umbrella and a paper boat can be unbearably dreary for kids. However, making a paper boat can add a little joy to their day. Every now and then, you can find kids folding boats out of paper and sailing them on puddles. Learn how to put one together yourself, and have fun trying them on the water!
What You'll Need
- A4 Paper
- Glue
- Black Marker
- Scissors
- Matchstick/Toothpick
Instructions
Here's how to put a paper boat together.
Step 1: Take the paper sheet and fold it in the middle.
2. Make folds from each of the corners so they meet in the middle.
3. Create a fold in the open lip.
4. Repeat the same fold on the other side.
5. Fold the corners of the lip inwards.

6. Repeat to the other lip.
You should have this triangular-shaped paper.
7. Gently separate the lower part of the triangle.
Separation of the part automatically brings the other corner of the triangle closer.
This results in the formation of a square shaped paper structure with two lower corners.
8. Fold the lowest corner to the horizontal mid-line.
This is done on both the sides.
9. Separate the lower lips gently, and bring the corners to the middle.
10. Open the upper part of the corners to make the boat!
11. Gently expand the boat's sides to make it stand upright.
You Made a Boat!
Your paper boat can be customized just by switching the colored paper you use. You can also decorate the paper with crayons or sketch pens before making the craft.
How to Make a Flag
You can also decorate the paper boat with a flag. You can use different colors or images to put one together. I decided to use a pirate ship symbol, and here are the steps below.
1. Get a matchstick or toothpick to use as the flag handle.
2. Draw a triangle that's the size of the matchstick.
3. Draw a pirate symbol with the skull and swords.
4. Color the rest of the flag using a black marker.
5. Cut out the flag.
6. Glue the flag to the matchstick.
7. Glue the flag to the boat.
