Paper boats are something long forgotten, straight from childhood. But newly-made parents quickly remember them when their own child grows up. In addition, origami is great for relaxing, helping to escape from the routine and everyday worries. Be sure to try it at your leisure! And so that you don't have to look for anything, we have already prepared 7 beautiful ideas!
1. Classic paper boat
You will need a regular rectangle that you need to fold in half and fold the top corners towards the center. Fold the free edges on the sides and tuck the corners to an even triangle.
Give it volume and fold along the base so that you get a square - as in the picture. And then again form a smaller triangle, bending the bottom corners. And once again square the base - the boat is almost ready. It remains only to pull the edges to the sides and part it until you get the perfect shape.
2. Two-pipe origami boat
You will need a square sheet of paper for this boat, so cut off the excess right away. Mark the center and main lines, bending diagonally. Then - form a half as small square from a large square, bending all corners to the center.
Flip the resulting rectangular rhombus and repeat the last step again - bend the corners to the center again. And then - the same operation for the third time. Turn the boat over again, straighten the upper and lower corners, and also push the side corners to the sides - you're done!
3. Paper sailboat
To make such a boat out of paper, take a square origami sheet. Thick double-sided paper looks more interesting - then the sail of the boat itself will be of a different color. First, for convenience, mark the center of the square, and with it the vertical and horizontal in the middle.
Fold the top left and bottom right corners, and then fold the figure exactly in half. Bend the bottom corners to make an isosceles triangle out of the rectangle. Inside, you will get a kind of pocket that needs to be straightened.
To do this, click on the sides of the triangle and at the same time pull its base in different directions - a rhombus will come out. Now you need to form a small sail: for this, the upper right triangle bend down in the middle and bend back, stepping back a little. Hide the resulting fold, and with it the lower triangle-bottom behind the sides of the ship.

4. Paper boat with one sail
Take a sheet of thick paper and visually divide it into four parts. To do this, bend the square in half, and then - each part in half again. Bend the sides to the middle to get an even rectangle, and repeat the operation with the markings, but now - horizontally.
Take the lower part of the rectangle by the corners of the sheet and form the base of the boat, as in the picture. You should have an inverted equilateral trapezoid, and then another one of the same - on top. At the top, bend the corners along the arrows and straighten it into a figure resembling a house. All that remains is to fold it in half and hide the base behind the sides of the sailboat.
5. Paper origami yacht
To make a boat out of paper in the shape of a yacht, take a square sheet and bend it diagonally into an even triangle. Fold back one edge so that its line coincides with the previous fold. Then fold back the bottom base - this will be the side of the yacht, which will perfectly fit into applications and other crafts.

6. Ship-steamer made of paper
Fold a square piece of paper diagonally with the fold down, and then fold the bottom triangle inward. Take a pair of scissors and cut a corner to form a steamer tube - and the boat is ready!
7. A boat made of paper for the little ones
This is almost a real sailboat, but it is quite simple to make, even for little ones.Take a paper square and open it at an angle to the top for convenience. Bend the sides along this angle to the axial vertical. Bend the bottom triangle-base along their edge, and then bend it again to form the side.

How to decorate a paper boat?
You can use colorful paper, heavy wrapping paper, or special origami sheets. Of course, the boat can be painted and decorated with paints or felt-tip pens. Attach toothpick masts and decorate them with thin ribbons or flags. Imagine!
