Paper plane

You will need 1 sheet A4 paper

Step 1
Fold the sheet lengthways along its centre.

Step 2
Fold the upper corners inwards at 45 degrees as shown above. They should meet in the middle but not cross.

Step 3

Fold these again, halving the angles, to give you the arrowhead shape.

Step 4
Fold over the nose, lining it up where the other folds meet in the middle.

Step 5
Fold down the middle. Folds should be neither too sharp, nor too rounded.

Step 6
Fold back ¾" of paper from the widest bit to create winglet. Repeat for other winglet.

Step 7
Fold back both wings, parallel to the centre fold. The fold should be halfway up the nose to form a fuselage to grip.
Step 8

Work the wings into a shallow V, the winglets at 90 degrees to the wings, pointing down.Step 9

Step 7
Fold back both wings, parallel to the centre fold. The fold should be halfway up the nose to form a fuselage to grip.
