square 6-10 inch paper, color side up

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.

  1. Take a square 6-10 inch paper, color side up.
  2. Fold in half and open like a book.
  3. Fold in half again making crossing creases.
  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.
  12. Take bottom folded edge up to match top edge of triangle (repeat and unfold).
  13. Fold in half keep long edge on top.
  14. Fold bottom cut edge to outside of wing, open and repeat.
  15. Open wings and pull so that they stand up.
