How to Make a Paper Boat. Let your imagination float away with this classic paper boat. You
will need Piece of paper and flat surface. Step 1. Lay the paper on a flat surface. Fold
the paper in half lengthwise. Use paper larger than the standard 8.5- by 11-inch size for
a larger boat. Step 2. Fold the two corners of the folded edge in toward the middle to
form a point. Step 3. Fold the loose rectangular edge on the top side of the paper up over
the flaps and fold down the overlapping triangles at the ends. Then turn the boat over and repeat
on the other side. The paper should now resemble a hat. Step 4. Turn the hat 90 degrees and
open it. Lay the upper and the lower parts on each other. Step 5. Fold the lower triangle
flap upward and onto the upper triangle. Then turn the boat over and repeat with the other
side. Step 6. Open the resulting square, putting the upper part on the lower. Step 7. Open
the flaps, revealing a triangle sail in the middle of your new paper boat. Now you are
ready to sail away. Bon voyage. Did you know The Chicago Yacht Club's Race to Mackinac
is the longest annual freshwater sailing race in the world totaling 333 miles. The first
one took place in 1898.
