Cut your square of paper even and straight. Place it out flat on top of a bare table and fold at the centre along the dotted line ([Fig. 26]), which will make [Fig. 27]. Bend each side of this down outwardly along its centre at the dotted line and bring the edges a quarter of an inch lower than the bottom fold A; then your paper will be four layers like [Fig. 28]. Turn up the lower edge B of [Fig. 28], making [Fig. 29]. Fold back the three lower layers of the corners at the dotted lines ([Fig. 29]) and you will have [Fig. 30]. Bend back the upper corners at the dotted lines to make [Fig. 31]. Open [Fig. 31] at the top and it will be your boat. Turn the boat upside down and slide one loose edge on the bottom under the other loose edge; then pinch each bottom point and bend it down toward the centre of the boat, creasing it flat ([Fig. 32]). Turn the boat right side up again, set it on the table, bend the two sides well up and crease them along the bottom until the boat resembles [Fig. 33].
