Hey y’all! Today I wanna talk to y’all about somethin’ that brings back so many childhood memories - foldin’ paper planes! Remember the good ol’ days when we used to spend hours makin’ and flyin’ these little wonders? Well, I’m here to remind y’all how to fold paper planes and have some fun in the process!
Sleek Jet Paper Airplane
Let’s start with the Sleek Jet paper airplane! This one is a real beauty, designed to soar high up in the sky. You’ll need a rectangular sheet of paper for this, and don’t worry if you ain’t got no fancy paper, just grab any ol’ piece from ya printer!
To make the Sleek Jet, follow these steps:
- First, fold the paper in half lengthwise, then unfold it.
- Next, fold the top corners down to the center crease, forming a triangle at the top.
- Then, fold the top edges to meet in the center, creating a diamond shape.
- Now, fold the bottom edges up to meet the top edge, overlapping them a bit.
- Flip the paper over and fold it in half along the center crease.
- Finally, fold the wings down at a slight angle, and you’re ready to test fly your Sleek Jet! Just give it a good throw and watch it soar!
Classic Dart Paper Plane
Now let’s move on to a classic - the Dart paper airplane! This bad boy is known for its speed and accuracy. It’s super easy to make, so even the youngest of y’all can join in on the fun!
Here’s how to fold the Classic Dart:
- Start with your rectangular piece of paper, and fold it in half lengthwise.
- Then, fold the top corners down to the center crease, creating a triangle at the top.
- Next, fold the sides in to meet the center crease, forming a long pointy shape.
- Now, fold the top point down, so it meets the bottom edge of the paper.
- Flip the paper over and repeat the previous step.
- Finally, fold the wings down, giving them a slight curve, and get ready to launch your Classic Dart for some high-speed action!
