I have made a very swaggy boat.
Love this! The first boat I’ve made looks pretty good already. Step 14 was a bit confusing but step 15 on the next page cleared it up. What does it mean to “round out” the hole on the bottom of the boat? I’d like to see if she’s seaworthy lol
Hi Olivia, Sorry if that was a bit vague. Round out the hole = there’s a triangular pocket on the underside. If you pull apart the sides of the boat, it will open. If you round the edges of the pocket so that the triangular opening stays open, it will have an easier time floating. I hope that made sense 🙂
thanks this helped a lot, just widen it a lot and it will float well
Does not work very well I’m a master at origami.
I made it – it’s so cool! I don’t want to ruin it, but I’m going right now to put it in the bathtub.
I love your website and all the things you guys do!
