| ways to make a paper airplane. | | | | 1. Start with a square sheet of paper like with the |

| supposed to be applied to any kind of paper airplane, | | | | 2. Again make a single fold in the middle of the sheet. |
| but in fact don't work for any specific model, I'll share | | | | 3. We follow the same steps like with the arrow - |
| quick and easy guides how for two specific models. | | | | make the diagonal folds to form a nose. |
| Let's go ahead: | | | | 4. Here's the first difference. Thus formed triangle |
| The "Arrow" paper airplane. | | | | from the folded edges must be folded to the center |
| The Arrow is probably the simplest and most popular | | | | of the airplane (so you'll have a rectangle with triangle |
| airplane that even a kid can make. It flies far and | | | | in it). |
| fast. Here is how: | | | | 5. Fold the new rectangle corners diagonally to the |
| 1. Take a square sheet of paper. You can make a | | | | middle. This is similar to the folds you made in the |
| square from a standard Letter size paper by folding | | | | Arrow, but these should end at the middle of the |
| diagonally and cutting the extra paper that remains | | | | sides. |
| outside of the two stuck triangles. | | | | 6. This forms a strange figure of the airplane - |
| 2. Fold the square at the vertical middle (to receive a | | | | something like trapezium and a rectangle. The folded |
| rectangle) and reopen it. | | | | nose is now semi-covered by the last folds, so you |
| 3. Make two diagonal folds in such a way that the | | | | need to turn it back to cover their edges and hold |
| two corners of the upper side will meet their edges | | | | them. |
| at the fold which you made in the previous step. | | | | 7. The first cease now enters the game - fold the |
| 4. Now you need two folds that are harder to | | | | winds to form the airplane |
| explain. They start from the new formed nose and | | | | 8. Now form the corpse. This time the wings should |
| diagonally end 2 inches before the opposite edges. | | | | be folded a little bit diagonally because the Moth has |

| 5. The airplane is almost ready. Now the center cease | | | | That's it, the Moth is ready. |
| must be folded to outside. | | | | Each of these airplanes can be built in five minutes. |
| 6. Now fold both wings one inch from the center to | | | | The same is valid for most of the other paper model |
| form the airplane corpse and leave the wings square | | | | airplanes. The only thing that you need is a sheet of |
