How To Make a Paper Boat

Im so flattered my sailor party is featured on kinderplays blog, so when Mba Junita asked me to share the tutorial of making paper boat origami, oh sure i will! 

So here's my step-by-step guidance, honestly its very easy! I bet you can make it less then 5 minutes!

What you need is a A4/ HVS piece of paper. or for cuter one, you can also do with your unused newspaper!

STEP 1: Fold a piece of paper in half, top to bottom

STEP 2: Fold the top, creased corners down into the middle of the paper

STEP 3: Fold the bottom of the paper up against both sides

Now it's forming a triangle

STEP 4: Get the corners to meet, forming a square

STEP 5: Hold it with the flaps down and fold the corners into the top point

STEP 6: Meet the right and left point and forming into square

STEP 7: Pull the middle out to form a square

Tadaa, those opened wings forming a boat

Look at the bottom side

Give a room on that

Well done!

Tape the string on the ceiling and let the boats floating in the air!

The eyes had no tears

The book i bought 9 years ago IDR 180,000, which at that time was very expensive for me. But i desperately fell in love at the first sight!

Labuhan di ujung senja

Hari semakin usang
dan mata mulai memudar
malam pun akan menyepi
bersembunyi di balik purnama

Hanya rasa mu dan rasa ku yang tertinggal

Sayang, apakah kemuning masih sama seperti sore kemarin?

Bertepi di ujung senja
kapal ini akhirnya berlabuh jua

biarlah jiwa ini menjadi yang terakhir
…

2nd month khama

This one is still part of Khama's 'month-to-month' flower series. She's 2months while this picture was taken, tiny huh? Please see the 3rd month Khama in the previous post. The color here is richer than the others, i combined both vintage blue and yellow, honestly i don't why my heart is just not into yellow, specially the vintage kind of yellow. baby or pastel is still ok, maybe kinda hard to combine that color.  but looking at this layout, i think yellow and i were friend now.
