Paper Airplane Folding Instructions
1. Fold your paper in half vertically and then unfold.
2. Fold both upper corners to the center.
3. Now, fold the outer edges to the center.
4. Next, open the sheet back up and fold down the right side. The second crease should meet the center line. Then fold the corner out.
5. Repeat with the other side.
6. Fold down the top point to meet where the other folds come together.
7. Now, fold the point back up to meet the top edge.
8. Next, fold in the right outer flap.
9. Repeat with the left flap
10. Fold out the right flap so that the crease lines up with the outer corner.
11. Repeat with the other side.
12. Now, fold the plane in half away from you.
13. Fold down one wing as shown.
14. Finally, fold out the other wing.
If you prefer the look of having the folds hidden inside the airplane, you can reverse the fold in step 12. This will make the airplane thicker, so you'll need to use some tape to keep it all together.
