Almost a hundred years have passed since the moment when, on the frosty night of April 14-15, 1912, south of the island of Newfoundland, the giant eight-deck Titanic, the largest and most luxurious ship of the early 20th century, sank after colliding with a drifting iceberg. 1,500 passengers and crew died. And although the 20th century was marked by several terrible tragedies, interest in the fate of this ship does not wane even today. It especially increased in 1985, when an American-French expedition managed to discover its body at a depth of 4000 meters. Titanic, the pride of the British merchant fleet, was designed by the most experienced designers, built from the highest quality materials, in one of the best shipyards in the world and manned by a carefully selected crew.

Paper is an excellent material for design. You can make anything out of it: flat figures, origami-style toys, or complex three-dimensional models. One of the most popular topics for creativity is scaled-down ship prototypes. People collect such models ranging in size from 15-20 cm, placing them in a bottle or simply decorating the interior with such a “toy”.
One of the popular ones is the Titanic. How to make the Titanic out of paper at home? You need to be patient, learn and work daily to create it. This is how stunning models of the iconic liner are born.
What is the Titanic made of?
To answer the question of how to make the Titanic out of paper, you need to understand its structure. What did the iconic liner consist of?
- Decks. There were 8 of them. 7 was intended for the guests of the ship, the 8th was reserved for storing boats in case of a crash.
- Bulkheads. The Titanic was broken into 16 pieces. They started from the bow of the ship and ended in the area of the 5th deck.
- Bottom. The bottom of the famous liner was double, which made it possible to hide the entire mechanism that kept the huge dimensions of the ship afloat.
- Pipes. There were a total of 7 pipes on board the ship. They were inclined to the side by 9.5 degrees.
- Masts. There were only 2 masts on the liner. One on the forecastle, the second in the stern.
Creating a flat Titanic with children
When figuring out how to make the Titanic out of paper, parents often turn to the Internet. However, there is nothing complicated about it. In fact, the answer to the question of how to make the Titanic out of paper with your own hands can be suggested by your imagination. There is nothing complicated here.
- You need to cut out two identical black rectangles - this will be the bottom of the ship. Then they need to be rounded at the bow.
- The next step is to cut out two white rectangles, smaller in length. These are the decks of a ship. Using a pencil or felt-tip pen, draw a rectangle into 8 parts and draw windows in each of them.
- The next step is making pipes. To do this, you need to cut out 4 yellow rectangles. Paint the top of these rectangles black.
- Two thin black stripes are future masts.
- The last step is to glue all the blanks together.
Three-dimensional model of the Titanic
How to make the Titanic out of paper so that it looks like the original? This is a difficult task. This will take at least six months. You need to download the liner drawings and, based on them, on a reduced scale, make paper patterns. For this purpose, it is better to use thick art paper or ordinary Whatman paper.
Particular attention should be paid to the internal structure. Of course, there is no need to repeat it completely, but if you do not take into account the load-bearing parts, the ship will not hold its shape. To make the task easier, you can buy ready-made Titanic paper blanks. Even a child will be able to assemble such a “constructor”.
Mastering the Japanese art of origami teaches you how to make various crafts from paper, without scissors or glue, using folding, including a ship, a flower, an animal or a fish. This ancient, Japanese technique, according to legend, actually originated in Ancient China, where paper actually first appeared.
Initially, origami was available only to representatives of the aristocracy and the spiritual world, and its crafts were used in religious rituals. For example, the best gift from a samurai was a noshi - a cleverly folded paper sheet in half, symbolizing good luck, and origami butterflies were mandatory attributes of a Shinto wedding celebration.
Today, many educational institutions teach origami. Every schoolchild knows how to make a ship out of paper in a matter of minutes. But this art is not easy for everyone. It is important to know and understand its main principles.
A unified system of universal signs, in the form of drawings, with the help of which you can create almost any object from paper is the system of Yakira Yoshizawa, a virtuoso origami master of the 20th century. It was thanks to her system that this ancient art spread throughout the world.
Varieties of origami techniques are presented:
- modular - assembling from many similar parts;
- simple - folding folds according to the “mountain and valley” principle;
- pattern – creation based on diagrams;
- wet – collecting elements moistened with water.
The art of origami directly concerns some areas of arithmetic and geometry. Therefore, this subject is so important in the school curriculum. By the way, to make a regular origami boat out of paper, the student needs to know how to correctly fold the corners of the paper to get a triangle or right angle, or bend it so as to align the parallel edges of the product.
A regular origami paper boat
Traditionally, origami is created from special paper - kami, which initially has a square shape. But in practice, an ordinary landscape sheet, A4 in size and with a density of 70-90 g/m², is quite suitable for introducing the Japanese “paper” culture.
The most common origami products are boats. This article will discuss how to easily and simply make a boat out of paper, give it an unusual shape or additional elements.
A simple boat for “beginners”
You can make a paper boat that floats on the water and does not sink for a long time, either using a landscape sheet or an ordinary student notebook. The main thing is exact observance of geometric proportions and desire.
You need to take a rectangular sheet:
- fold it in half twice, pressing tightly;
- expand, in order to create guide lines along which alignments will take place in the future;
- fold two adjacent corners located on the shorter edge of the rectangle towards the center to form a triangle;
- along the previously folded lines, fold the strips parallel to the triangle up so that you get a Panama hat;
- pull the Panama hat by the middle edges in different directions so that the figure becomes voluminous and looks like a diamond;
- bend the corners of the rhombus into another “Panama hat”;
- pull the edges, similar to creating the previous diamond.
A simple boat for “beginners”
The ship is ready, but in order for it to stand on the water for a long time and not sink, you need to tightly run your fingers along the fold lines at the base of the craft. Another trick to making a boat unsinkable is to dip it in melted paraffin or wax, which will create a seal and prevent it from getting wet.
You can make the boat unique and bright by painting its sides with felt-tip pens or pencils.
With the help of videos or photos posted on the Internet, such a simple craft can be created faster, focusing on visual “instructions for action.”
It is important to remember that often the first folds of the sheet do not form the edges of the future product, but usually just lines that serve as a guide in the future. Intersections are considered central or proportionally equal parts.
Spring is the time to launch boats outside
Fantastic boats on a “fictional” sea
An alternative to the classic paper ship are even simpler origami crafts in the form of a steamship. The only negative about such crafts is that they are not stable and “float” only on the “virtual” sea, and best of all, on a fluffy carpet in a children’s room!
A little future sailor, with the participation of adults, can create such a steamer on his own from a square-shaped leaf, all the corners of which must be bent to the central point and create a rhombus, and then:
- turn the workpiece over and fold all the corners again;
- repeat this action twice more;
- turn over again and bend two opposite edges;
- pull the other two corners away from the center in different directions.
Simple origami crafts in the form of a steamship
A funny steamboat will keep your baby's attention for at least two hours. A half-hour origami lesson with a child helps develop the child’s fine motor skills, imagination and logical thinking.
A paper boat in the hands of a craftsman
Creating a ship with a sail - as a complicated version of the “assembly” based on the classic one, can be made from paper in two ways.
The first method is called “European” and assumes the presence of a square-shaped sheet, which must:
- roll along the center line and diagonally to get sixteen clearly visible squares;
- bend all the corners in the direction of the central landmark and connect two of the resulting flat rhombus according to the same principle;
- turn the mold over and fold it diagonally;
- connect the miniature triangles on the right side of the product - these are the sails.
The second method is called “Japanese” and some may find it simpler than the European one:
- a square sheet of paper is bent diagonally to the axis, and the two resulting corners are bent along the entire center line;
- the lower corner connects to the upper;
- two edges, along the vertical axis, fold together;
- the resulting blunt edge (angle) is bent at a right angle.
Scheme for creating a ship with a sail
The traditional “water transport” with a sail in Japanese is assembled from a colored sheet of paper and decorated with ornamental designs.
Master class for virtuosos and tricksters
For those who are prepared and familiar with “this topic”, it will not be difficult to create a stunning-looking ship - a motor ship with two pipes. The advantage of such a vessel is its excellent stability on the surface of the water, in comparison with previous products.
You can make a paper boat with two pipes based on previous techniques - classical and with sails, or using a unique system. The most common way to create a delightful boat involves performing just six steps, namely:
- bend a square sheet of paper diagonally so that when unfolded you get a cross;
- bend all corners towards the center;
- turn the workpiece over and do a similar bending of all corners again;
- turn it over a second time and do the same “operation” with the corners a third time, turning them towards the center;
- turn over and unfold two opposite corners (pockets) again - these are the pipes;
- straighten the workpiece.

For those who are confused in the steps between repeatedly turning the workpiece over or bending corners, it is recommended to look at photos or pictures of the procedure for this origami technique.
For origami professionals, myth busters and Titanic fans.
Connoisseurs of this ancient art should not stop there and, like a true “paper sculptor,” you can try to make a ship out of paper, similar to the legendary Titanic. At the moment, techniques for creating it without the use of a cutting product and adhesive material have not yet been invented. But everything is in the hands of a “paper” genius!
But no matter how many times you have to fold the paper, remember - an ordinary sheet of paper, A4 format, can be folded in half no more than seven times. This is a scientific phenomenon, but doubting “theory busters” are probably eager to check it out in person. Even if it is not possible to “roll up” the Titanic, it will certainly be possible to reveal some other properties of the paper.
If you can create a boat that floats, then you can certainly create an alien boat out of paper and make it hang in the air, or at least suspended by a chandelier. There is no limit to imagination if you have an A4 sheet of paper, desire and free time.
Ships in the air
Dictionary of the “origami sculptor”
When using advice on assembling crafts, a person often comes across various terms that are incomprehensible, especially to a beginner. To avoid problems in this painstaking form of art, it is necessary to “operate” with some terminology in “this topic”, the main of which are:
- movement - one action;
- blank - unfinished craft;
- the model is a completed paper masterpiece;
- landmark – fold line or their intersection point;
- grip – inserting a bent corner into the formed pocket;
- tolerance - a gap or interval;
- valley fold - in the shape of the letter “V” at the bottom of the sheet;
- fold-mountain - “V” in the upper part of the sheet;
- raw edge - the free edge of the sheet that has not been previously “processed”, without bends or landmarks;
- folding - creating guidelines for future crafts.
Safety precautions, secrets and tricks in the art of origami
To make the process of creating paper crafts safe and fun, you need to know that:
- An important rule of origami is maintaining proportions and symmetry. If it is violated, the “output” model will be inaccurate or fail at all;
- It is necessary to bend slightly at the beginning of the work, and it is necessary to finish with tight bends. This will give the figure the correct look and shape;
- do not forget about guidelines and auxiliary folds, they are important for the accuracy of forms and save time on calculations;
- reliable bends will be ensured by a ruler and a flat surface;
- in small parts it is difficult to bend the corners, but with the help of a needle or a dental stick it is easy and quick.
Origami art
The art of origami has an amazingly positive effect on a person’s mood. Don't deny yourself this pleasure and start with simple classic boats.
"Titanic" by James Cameron
We are sure many of you have watched James Cameron's wonderful film "Titanic". A bright, dramatic story of beautiful, true love, doomed to parting. A simple guy, Jack, and an aristocrat, Rose, find each other and their love on the first and last voyage of the legendary *unsinkable* Titanic. No one could have imagined that their passionate first love would turn into a fight with death on a doomed ship. And there will be no winners in this fight. Jack will give his life in the name of his love, and Rose will carry it in her heart until old age, and will die remembering it. A very deep, emotional film that reveals the characters' characters, showing diversity and paradox. the unpredictability of human nature, its low and high traits. But the essence of everything is love.. It permeates the entire plot of the film with an invisible thread..
A little about the Titanic
"Olympic" and "Titanic"
Titanic is a transatlantic British steamship. Built by order of the shipowner White Star Line in Belfast at the Harland and Wolfe shipyard from 1909 to 1912. At the time of the start of operation, it was the largest ship in the world. On the night of April 14-15, 1912, during her maiden voyage in the North Atlantic, she crashed after colliding with an iceberg. More than a thousand people died, about seven hundred survivors were taken on board by the steamship Carpathia, which arrived at the crash site an hour and a half later. The wreckage of the Titanic is located at a depth of 3,750 meters, first discovered by Robert Ballard's expedition in 1985. The Titanic had an analogue ship, the Olympic, which was absolutely identical to it. The interiors and layout of the Olympic, captured in the photo, give an idea of what the Titanic was like, and also help in the reconstruction of events, and provide material for documentaries and feature films dedicated to the disaster.
How to make the Titanic out of paper
"Titanic" made of paper
The enormous disaster that claimed the lives of 1,496 people, despite the long-standing event, still excites people’s minds. Sad songs have been written about this, paintings have been created, and a lot of documentaries and feature films have been made. The lion's share of attention paid to this tragic event was due to the release of James Cameron's film of the same name, described above. “Titanic” became a kind of brand, under which models of the ship for assembly began to be produced, T-shirts with inscriptions, even sayings appeared like: “No need to panic, you are not on the Titanic..” In our opinion, it is a little blasphemous to speculate on the tragedy, but the facts are real..
Our article does not convey such meaning. Creating the Titanic from paper is more of a learning process. Having studied the information about the event, creating with your own hands a model of the doomed ship, you involuntarily think about the vanity of all earthly things and the collapse of human vanity. We will not describe the entire process step by step, but will only provide you with the necessary video materials from which you will learn something useful for yourself.
