Origami Boat Base

So this here is the origami boat base, and it’s like the starting point for a bunch of origami things like a table or a photo frame and stuff.

You wanna begin with a square piece of origami paper – like 6 inches by 6 inches (or 15cm x 15cm, whatever you use).

Step 1: Simply fold the paper in half lengthwise and widthwise. Then fold both diagonally. Make sure you get a good crease, then unfold.
