    Get a couple of simple books. They teach you the basic folds, valley folds, mountain folds, working on your hand coordination skills, and being precise. Take your time and try to be as accurate as possible with the instructions. It does require a certain precision, an artistic touch, and a lot of practice.
  • Question
    Can I make little cannons to go on it?
    Community Answer
    Sure. Take a small piece of paper (the size of half of a sticky note); cut a toothpick in half; roll the paper into a tube; poke the toothpick through; add two round circles of paper (about 1 cm in diameter); poke them through the two ends of the toothpick; then trim anything to your preference. Add the cannons to the boat.
