Making a boat

So, take a sheet of paper and fold it in half. The upper corners should be bent at right angles to the center of the sheet, and the free edges - up from all sides.
In order to get a triangle, we turn the corners of the sheet inside. Next, make a square. For this, we reduce the angles of the base of the triangle together.
Then you need to get a triangle again. We do this: bend the lower corners upward. Make sure everything is symmetrical.
Then we reduce the corners of the base together so that a square is obtained.
Final stage: we take a square for the upper corners and slightly stretch it in different directions, in other words, open the boat. We raise until the ship turns out.
