Learn2 Make Paper Airplanes
(Continued)
Method 1: The Flying
Dart
Make the body folds
- Fold the paper the long way. Bend the
page until the opposite corners meet. Crease the
fold flat with the palm of your other hand. Run
your thumbnail along the crease to make it
sharp. Now open the paper again. You've just
marked the two halves of the airplane and made
the center crease (the bottom of the
airplane). From now on, each side of the
airplane should look like a mirror image of the
other side.
- Fold one corner into the middle. The
short edge, from the corner to the center
crease, will line up along the center crease.
Hold the short edge down with one hand and
crease the fold with your other hand. On the
other side of the crease, fold the opposite
corner so that the short edges just barely meet
at the center crease.
- Fold the same corners again. That's
right, fold one diagonal edge down to meet the
center crease. Hold it down and crease. Repeat
the same step on the other side. The two folds
should line up along the center crease and
barely touch each other. This will produce a
sharp point on the front of the plane.
- Fold the plane along the center
crease. The two halves should line up
exactly. If they don't, well, take this one as a
learning experience, and pay close attention to
how it flies.
