Here are some airplanes that I made at home. You can also make these:
The beginner’s plane:
Materials: ½ paper or a 1 whole paper, scotch tape.
How to make:
- Put the paper in portrait. Fold its upper part into two half triangles, making a pointy tip.
- Lay the paper on its back. Then, fold it in half (the half triangles should be separated by the fold).
- This time, put the paper in landscape. Fold its long upper part on both sides (they should touch the long bottom part).
- Stick a scotch tape on the front bottom (the folded middle of the two separated triangles) so it does not move. And you’re done!
Tip: Throw it from a high place (not too high because the wind might blow it away). It will land smoothly but still in a wavy movement (because it is low quality).
Features and appearance: It flies in a wavy movement and it lands on either side. It looks ugly. Toddlers make it because they don’t know how to make a real one.
The Jumbo Jet:
Materials: Big slogan/poster paper, ½ or 1 whole paper, scissors, glue/scotch tape.
How to do make:
- (You will do the same instructions for Classic Airplane)
- Get two ½ sheets of paper (or 1 whole) and cut them into two right/left triangles (Right and left triangles can be flipped into their opposite sides). Glue these pieces to the part of the wing that is a bit at the back. They will make it look better (they are extras so it’s ok if you don’t wanna put them).
- Make at least 2 more Jumbo jets. Insert the first jet at the back of the Jumbo Jet, then insert the second one at the back of the first jet. Glue/tape them together. Add some designs and you are done!
Tip: Blow the back with more air and throw it with a lot of force (but make sure that the tip is pointing at the direction where you want it to go). The Jumbo Jet can go faster, farther, and higher.
Features and appearance: Good for fields. You can put small and light figures on it. It is large and strong.
