Steemit Engagement Challenge: Fostering creativity: Let's do origami!|| Making A Boat 🚢⛵ By @chiabertrand
Hey there, esteem steemians, I greet y'all and I hope you are all doing great in this beautiful Community. It's another week again for another challenge and I'm always happy participating in contests from this community because they are always interesting contests most especially the one of this week which is talking about producing an ORIGAMI. without waisting any time, I will proceed with my entry
Before I proceed with my entry, I will like to talk about all what ORIGAMI is. It is the act of folding, bending or twisting papers in other to came out with an impressive design of any kind of structure.
When growing up, especially in my primary school days, I was a PRO in producing all types of ORIGAMI but my most favorite was always a Boat 🚢⛵. My dream have always been to ever enter a Boat one day, so I always fixed an origami in the form of a boat and I always put it inside water and enjoy how it's floating and moving.
So today, I will show you guys how to came out with an origami design in the form of a boat 🚢. I hope y'all will enjoy it
Step-by-step Method How to Produce An ORIGAMI Boat 🚢
The first thing is to get your paper ready by using an A4 paper. You will need to also use a ruler and a pencil so as to mark out important sections that you are to fold just as I have done it it. You will need to draw a vertical line at the middle of the paper so that you don't miss out it's dimensions
The next thing is to bend or fold the paper at the point where you marked out with a vertical line. That is an example above
Our next step is to fold the two edges of the origami boat just as seen above. You will need to fold the two edges at equal dimensions
Our next step is to fold and bend the two bottom paper sides both Infront and behind just as I have done
inside side view
outside side view
After bending the two bottom paper sides, you can be able to open it wide to see both the inside and outside
The next step is to still turn it and fold the two sides of the paper again, both the right and the left side
inside view
outside view
After bending it, you can still still see both the inside and outside view of the origami
You will still need to repeat the previous step by still folding both sides of the bottom papers. We are repeat the previous steps so that we can make our origami boat to be very strong and firm.. And this is the last step to form the boat.
Our ORIGAMI is now formed. The only thing is to hold it at the sharp edges and open it gently. When opening it gently, we will now see the full shape of a boat 🚢⛵
You can now see the full shape of the boat. It is now ready sail and travel by water
As you can see, this is the engineer behind the production of this origami
You can also see it from the video below 👇
It's Time To Test My Origami On Water
I had to finally test my origami boat to see if it can move on water. I was happy it successfully moved on water. You can see it from the video below 👇
I am now fully ready to travel by water using my origami boat 🚢⛵ 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much for your time everyone, I am inviting my fellow friends @tangwe-rene, @tenguhatanga, @wyzcekunited, @ngwerast, @monjuapollonia and @echamroland to come and participate in this amazing contest and show us your talent on how to produce an origami
OK, you did it! You made a float-able boat from recycling paper. Well done!
I am sure that many boys out there would like to copy you so that they could have fun.
Ps. I think the boat is a bit small for you so best would be to continue walking (•ิ‿•ิ)
Hahaha you are right mom. I also believe many boys will love to have fun by designing similar things such as this one because it's always fun catching designing such things because it takes us back to our childhood memories
That's right, just that I had but an A4 paper. It's hard to see a3 paper in this my area. So I had no choice than to use only a4 paper which is smaller
Hola @chiabertrand bienvenido a Steem Venezuela, quedo hermoso su barco y si puede navegar, muy buena presentacion y se nota que disfrutaste haciendolo... Espero que mas temprano que tarde puedas lograr tu sueño de navegar en un barco.
Gracias por sumarte al reto.
Profile Summary:
Thanks so much for appreciating my boat dear friend. Thanks also for the review over my work
Hola @chiabertrand; Este barquito al menos no se que se hunde, saludos, espero lo hayas disfrutado mucho.
The boat isn't sinking bro. Yes I quit enjoyed it as it was sailing
I really made a lot of these boats when I was a kid, they were one of my favorites. You must really have a wonderful childhood to know these origami. Thanks for sharing. It is nice
Even me bro, I use to also produce a lot of this when growing up and even up to now, I can still remember most of things I use to produce out of paper. Childhood activities are extremely very good and I always feel like becoming a child again so that I can pass through some of this Activities 🤣🤣
You have put in great efforts in making this boat. I will travel to Cameron with that boat. So please, can you send it to me? Or when it sails from Cameron to Nigeria, let me know so I can join it. This contest has made you remember your old days. That's the beauty of it. Thanks for your entry. Mine will be loading in no time
Thanks for appreciating my boat mom.
Oooh really!! This will be a wanderful news.. don't bother I will send the boat right away to your country so that it will bring you to my country Cameroon. I made this boat specially because of my love to always travel by water though I haven't travelled by water yet
Thanks once more... I will highly be anticipating to see your entry to this contest
I've tried several times to make an origami boat during my childhood but it never came out well probably because I didn't put more effort. But with this pictorial explanation I think I will make it better.
Best wishes bro
🤣🤣🤣Even me oooh. I usually fine it difficult in coming out with a boat design because it was so complicated since you need to twist and twist papers from all angles and edges🤣🤣.. but thank God I finally learned it and I'm now a pro in it.
I'm glad you were able to learn from my origami boat how to produce one as well. Will be happy seeing you with one which was design by you
that mean we had a smiler experience but mine was Gun .
When I was inprimary school, I always love to become a policeman but when i finished my secondary education and started seeing how the crises was affecting us and couple with the rate at which police men were being kill,i had to withraw from becaming a policeman but before then I just wanted to share my own little Experience in my primary school 🏫 life and in addition to that congratulations and good luck in all your contain.so see you then brother.
Hahaha 🤣🤣 chaaaaaiii, so you had an experience but with a gun because you wanted to become a police officer my brother. I can say that you have heart oooh.. I hate any profession that involves the use of guns because I hate to see a got with all my heart🤣.. with this ongoing Anglophone crises, I see it's only the bravery and those who where determine to always use the gun is going in for Police profession or as Amba fighter now🤣🤣..
Glad you didn't finally become a police officer because you wouldn't have been safe now because of this crises
That is the absolute truth brother and thank for the wonderful comment and the great remark for rely appriciate you for that
Your boat looks lovely and you've explained the steps so well.
Immediately I saw your mentioned and as I read through the origami boat I could flashback to how my son made a boat as I was making my origami wallet.
That's a means of transport I will love to use if I'm traveling someday.
Thanks for floating your boat in it's proper place water and from this your video I will show some kids in my neighborhood who properly don't understand why some objects can float in water.
Good luck my dear friend
Thanks for appreciating my boat dear
That means there is no difference between your son and I now😂😂
Even me oooh, I have always loved to travel by water somedays and hopefully, I believe it will happen
Meeeeeeerde, na so you di plan for spread my video viral🤣🤣🤣
When talking of objects floating on water, you are then entering into a different world which is the world of science and technology and we are now talking of density because objects with less density to water turn to floats on water and objects with greater density than water turn to sink to the bottom of water
Ooo ma G.. how did you come out with this bro. I have tried my whole life of always wanting to design this Boat but I always fail because it's really difficult to fixed it but you have done a great job in showing us step by step. Thanks for this, I will try mine in this days
Hahaha so you always fine it difficult in producing this boat when growing up ehhh.. but I hope you have learn after going through this my article
Thanks for the positive visit brother
😂😂😂Boi you just made a boat with papers , i imagine how long that but is going to stay dry🤣🤣 That means people on board will definitely sink ...🤣🤣🤣
I am not entering that boat, not anytime soon...
But you have done a very creative job. Thanks for sharing with us and good luck with the contest ...
Best regards ..
