How Do You Make an Origami Cruise Ship?

By Michael Ferguson

Origami cruise ships are a fun and enjoyable craft project for people of all ages. They are a great way to add some color and style to any room in your home, or office.

Origami cruise ships can be made out of any type of paper, so you can customize the look to match your decor. The process of making an origami cruise ship is relatively simple and requires minimal supplies.

To make an origami cruise ship you will need a piece of paper, scissors, tape or glue, and a pen or marker. Begin by folding the paper in half lengthwise and then fold it in half again width wise.

Once you have folded the paper, cut along the middle fold lines to create four equal sections. Take one section and fold it in half lengthwise and then open it back up again.

Now take one side of the section that was just folded and fold it over the other side. You should now have a long strip with two flaps on either side. Take one flap and tuck it into the other flap to create an accordion style strip.

Next, fold each end of the accordion strip towards the center so that they overlap each other slightly. This will create a bow shape that is the basis for your origami cruise ship’s hull. Tape or glue each end together to secure it in place.

Creating The Mast:

Take your pen or marker and draw two small circles on either end of your hull shape for the masts. Cut two small strips from your remaining paper sections; these will be used as sails for your masts. Fold each sail in half lengthwise and then tape or glue them onto your masts.

Finishing Touches:

To give your origami cruise ship a more realistic look you can add additional details such as windows, doorways, railings, etc using markers or additional pieces of paper cut into different shapes.

Conclusion:

Making an origami cruise ship is a simple yet enjoyable project that is perfect for any age group or skill level. With minimal supplies you can create a unique craft piece that can be used as home decor or as a gift for family and friends!
