Step 2: Cut of the extra paper so you will have a square.

Step 3: Keep it folded and then hold the paper as shown above.

Step 4: Fold up the bottom of the paper as shown.

Step 5: Open the paper up. We will cut along the fold line. See the marked line on the image? Cut along that line to the folds as shown below.

Step 6: Fold the side up.

Step 7: Turn the boat over and then fold up the other side.

Step 8: Add a piece of tape to the front and back of the boat to hold it together.
