Origami Love Boat

We called this the origami love boat because it is a boat on one side and a heart on the other. It's a simple and cute origami!

Origami Love Boat Step 1: Start with a 6 inch x 6 inch (15cm x 15cm) square paper, color side down.

Fold paper in half on both the horizontal and vertical axis. Crease well and unfold.

Origami Love Boat Step 3: Now fold both right and left sides to meet in the center. But do not crease the entire length of the paper.

Fold only to the point where it meets the diagonal crease.

This is because the heart will be formed on the lower half of the paper. And we do not want to add unnecessary creases to the heart portion.
