Origami: How to fold some Ships (A Thin Ship, Two Ships, A Cheating Ship)

I’ll show you how to fold three types of ship. ★

Since they are all easy to fold, let’s try various ships.

You can also arrange it by putting a ship to another one.

They will be more real if you draw some pictures or patterns on them too.

 How to fold a Ship1   A Thin Ship

１．First, fold it in half.

２．Open it up and fold both sides to the crease.

３．Fold it in half. (to inside)

４．Fold both bottom corners up along the black lines toward the arrows,

leaving about 5mm space on the top.  (Loop part faces down)

５．It will be like the picture below.

６．Fold only the top layer down to the line of two triangles.

７．Fold the same part down like rolling it.

８．Fold the same way (twice) to the other side for the other layer too.

９．Open the bag part, adjust it well, and it’s done!

How to fold a Ship3   A Cheating Ship

You can let both a thin ship and two ships stand in a three-dimensional way,

but you can’t let a cheating ship stand, since it’s just a ship that you can ‘cheat’ with.

But it’s so cute, right? ❤

You can also play with them floating on the water if it’s not a long time.

So, let’s try that too!

I’m sure you’ll enjoy it if you play with them with your friends!
