Origami Sailboat

Origami Sailboat instructions and tutorial

The sailboat is a very easy traditional model. It has only two folds, but the boat looks very realistic. If you use a sheet of paper with a different color on each side, the hull of the boat will be of one color, and the sail will be of the other color. The sailboat is an interesting model because it shows how to reverse a fold. It is a perfect model to play in the sand at the beach!
