One of the questions that came up on my please-ask-me-stuff post was how to make a paper hat/boat. When I made the one in my Travelcraft Journal birthday photos, I couldn’t remember how I had done it as a kid. But I found great instructions on wikiHow.
If you make one, I’d love to see a photo of you and your boat where you live!

I found the instructions!

Napkins into boats is a cool idea!
I like the pirate story! Those are the same folds and tears with a different story. I’m thinking maybe I heard a Christiany version, but I still don’t remember the details. I should record my mom telling it.
Back to the pirate story, the Bermuda Triangle actually has rogue waves and sharp coral beds, so there’s some science in there! I watched/nerded out over a National Gepgraphic special about it that I bet you and the kiddos would like: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/drain-the-bermuda-triangle/
I fold the napkins into boats. Not on a regular day, but, I mean, for parties.
There is a way to tear the paper boat that turns it into a paper shirt when you unfold it, but I don’t remember how.
Sure, Lori! It’s simple and (theoretically) actually will float!
Phillip took the pic when we had the one year celebration in the park. In the spirit of microblogging, I didn’t want to take time for more photos. But I didn’t want to post the one from my Twitter avatar *again.*
Oooh, maybe the kids and I will try this out. Thanks!
(love the pic)
Oh, I think my son and I will fold a paper boat this afternoon! Ok, ok, it will be me who folds it, but he will enjoy it. :)
It sounds like a win-win then! Reading your comment, I suddenly remembered my mom had a story that went along with folding the paper boat. I’ll have to ask her about it, because I can’t remember how it went.
A friend asked how to fold a paper boat like the one in my photo: http://t.co/zI4gk8Uyus http://t.co/PMzT4qDxvC
