EASY · TRADITIONAL MODEL
Cup and Saucer
A traditional model from nineteenth-century kindergarten books: you make the boat with two sails from a flat windmill and fold the tips of both sails back. It ends flat: a rectangular cup standing on its saucer.

Get your paper ready.
Lay a square sheet down as a diamond, with one corner pointing up and one towards you. If one side is coloured, put it face down and the white side face up.
Use smooth, properly square paper: in the next folds the corners have to reach the centre exactly.
Bring the top corner to the centre.
Fold the top corner of the diamond towards you, onto the centre. The fold is horizontal and runs through the middle of the two upper edges.
Line up the corner with the centre before pressing the fold.
Bring the right corner to the centre.
