SOME PAPER AIRPLANES HAVE POINTY TIPS …SO BE REALLY CAREFUL WHEN YOU THROW THEM INDOORS AND OUT. IT’S ALWAYS BETTER TO HAVE A BUDDY…SO TRY NOT TO ATTEMPT THESE PROJECTS ALONE.

4. Fold bottom to horizontal center creases.
5. Bottom right half of folded edge roll into center crease repeat with left side and unfold.
6. Right cut edge fold into valley crease (not center), and repeat left side.
7. Flip those flaps over again so that they meet into center crease in front.
8. Look for the cut edge that separates where colors differ.
9. Take the right side so that the folded edge lines up with the cut edge. Repeat with the left side.
10. Turn so that the long folded edge of wing is at top match long cut edge with folded edge at top on each wing.
11. Flip over so that nose is at bottom- note triangle on nose.
