When I was a child, I loved origami airplanes, which is a popular fun. Another fun thing is to make origami boats. Today I share a very simple method of folding a boat - a tutorial on origami boats with a canopy. It is also a relatively common method of making origami boats when I was a child. The biggest highlight of this origami boat is that it can easily float on the water. Especially if you use some waterproof paper to fold it, the origami boat itself will float on the water for a long time, so this origami boat brings The fun is more intense and more interesting.
1. Next, let’s learn in detail how to make an origami boat with a canopy. The first material you need to prepare is a square piece of paper. Almost all other origami boats start from a square piece of paper, and our origami boat is no exception. It starts from a square piece of paper. Fold the two diagonal corners of the paper in half to create a triangular structure as shown in the picture.
2. Then after opening the folded triangular structure, we will get a diagonal crease, which is just the first crease. Fold the two corners on the other diagonal in the same way, and then open them after the folding is completed, so that you get two intersecting diagonal creases. Such a basic folding method can be seen in the production of many origami encyclopedia illustrations.
3. Then Fold the four corners of the paper toward the midpoint, and then flatten it after folding, thus obtaining a square structure as shown in the picture. Such a square structure is also a common structure in origami production, especially in some simple In manual origami operations, in order to make some basic creases, it is always necessary to complete this step before proceeding to the following folds.
4. When the paper is unfolded, we get the crease diagram as shown in the picture. Because the four corners were folded toward the middle point in the previous step, in this step, we will get 4 new creases. These four new creases form a crease inside the paper as shown in the picture. Small square structure.
5. Then use thisWhen the four corners of the paper are unfolded forward, four new creases are obtained for folding, thus obtaining the origami structure as shown in the picture.
6. Then continue to fold the new edges formed when folding the four corners of the previous step toward the quadrilateral crease inwards. Such folds are similar to the continuous folds found in many origami-making operations. It is used in the production of some origami flowers, but the origami flowers made by using this kind of continuous inward folding are usually not very beautiful, so more people use this kind of origami when making origami photo frames. Folding method. Of course, the origami photo frames made in this way are usually relatively simple.
7. Then fold the upper and lower sides of the origami model in half. At this time, you will get the origami structure as shown in the picture. We can see that the origami structure at this time does not show any signs of the origami boat, but This folding method is the intermediate step that should be obtained when finally making the origami boat.
8. After folding the upper and lower sides upward, then fold the upper and lower sides toward the bottom Fold it back once, that is, fold the two upper sides of the origami model front and back. In this way, you will get the origami style as shown in the picture.
9. If we rotate the origami model at this time and look at it from the side, we can get an M-shaped origami style. If you are interested in letters made from paper art, you can check out this tutorial on making letters with paper quills, which is a good decoration: Tutorial on hand-making letters H from quilled paper.
10. Rotate the origami model back again, and we will continue with the following origami operations. This step is to fold the top four corners of the origami model down respectively, as shown in the picture. At this time, you can see that the prototype of the origami boat has begun to appear, but it has not gone through the final stretch. It looks rather rough.
11. Based on the downward folding in the previous step, continue to fold the four newly formed hypotenuses downward. This results in a unique triangular structure as shown in the figure. Such an origami triangular structure looks like an origami hat, but the subsequent folding will finally reveal the origami boat.
12. Then fold the top corners of the upper two faces of the origami model in the front and back directions. That is, the top horizontal origami structure as shown in the figure is formed. At this time, since continuous folding has been carried out, the folding operation of the origami model will become slightly difficult, but this does not prevent continued folding. If the paper selected is thinner, it will be easier to fold.
13. At this time, place the origami model in a horizontal direction and look down from the top, you will get the origami style as shown in the picture. It seems that the interior is tightly layered, and all that needs to be done is to pull the upper and lower edges of the middle convex part away from the upper and lower places.
14. Pull open Afterwards, the bottom of the origami model needs to be sorted out, just like when making some origami roses. The middle bottom part also needs to be flattened. Through this sorting, the bottom of the origami boat can be made very smooth. , so that it will ultimately appear more stable when drifting in the water, and will not easily capsize due to possible large waves.
15. Then lift up the small sheds on the left and right sides of the origami boat with your fingers, and a complete, hand-made origami boat that looks very full in appearance is completed. Such an interesting handmade origami boat will not cost you too much time, but it gives us the opportunity to find the joy of childhood. I remember when I was a child, I would put some origami lucky stars inside the boat after the final folding was completed. Maybe you also You can try this, it will be a nice little decoration even if it is placed on the table.
16. The illustration of how to make an origami boat with a canopy is completed. This kind of origami canopy boat is often used for rafting and wishing activities. When people make a wish, they will put the folded paper crane inside, and then send the origami boat away with their own hands after making a wish. At this time, the origami boat will drift with the current and slowly disappear in the winding river.
