This is an introductory article about the Boy surface. Boy found 1901 that ℝP2 can be immersed into ℝ3, and published it. (The image of) the immersion is called the Boy surface after Boy's discovery. We have created a way to construct the Boy surface by using a pair of scissors, a piece of paper, and a strip of scotch tape. In this article we introduce the way. Furthermore, we make a movie to show the paper-craft actually, and put it in a website. One can find the website by typing in the author's name or the title of this article in the search engine.
