1. Fold in half and unfold
White side up. Fold the bottom edge to the top edge and unfold, then the left edge to the right edge and unfold, to make a cross of creases.
2. Fold the four corners to the centre
Fold each of the four corners to the centre point.
3. Turn over
Turn the whole model over.
4. Corners to the centre again
On this side, fold the four corners to the centre point again.
5. Turn over
Turn the model over again.
6. Corners to the centre a third time
Fold the four corners to the centre point once more. The paper becomes small and thick.
7. Turn over
Turn over: you can see four small square pockets.
8. Open the top pocket (funnel)
Put a finger into the slit of the top pocket, open it, pull it upward and flatten it into a rectangle. This becomes one funnel.
9. Open the bottom pocket (funnel)
Open the opposite pocket at the bottom in the same way, pulling it downward and flattening it. This is the second funnel.
10. Crease the middle
Fold the bottom rectangle up to the top one along the middle line, then unfold again.
11. Spread out the sides
Behind the right point, unfold the two hidden corners above and below it out to the side. Then swing the right flap outward: the hidden paper comes out as a long point. Do the same on the left.
12. Make the points hang down
Fold each long point in half along the middle line, then fold the opened corners back behind along their old creases. The points swing round behind and come out pointing down. Do both sides. It looks like a shirt with two sleeves.
13. Fold in half into a ship
Fold the bottom half up in front along the middle crease. The bottom rectangle lands on the top one to make the two funnels, and the two hanging points come up with it as the bow and the stern at the ends. Stand it up on its bottom edge: your steamship is done!
1. Fold in half and unfold
White side up. Fold the bottom edge to the top edge and unfold, then the left edge to the right edge and unfold, to make a cross of creases.
Tip:
Finished!
Well done! Watch it again or try another model.
Play with it
- Open the two funnels a little and spread the bow and stern slightly, and the ship stands up on the table.
- Add a puff of smoke above the funnels with cotton wool or paper.
