Get Involved, Make a Paper Airplane
Curious on how to make a paper airplane?
Start with Your Message
Begin with a 10×8 cm sheet of paper. Before folding, write your hopeful message in the center. Place your paper message-side-up for the next steps.
First Fold
Fold the paper in half lengthwise (hotdog style), then unfold to create a center crease. Your message should be face-up.
Corner Folds
Fold the top corners down to the center crease, creating a point at the top. This forms a triangle shape on the top half.
Central Fold
Fold the top triangle down, leaving about 1 cm of space from the bottom edge. This creates a small triangle that points downward.
Edge Folds
Fold the top edges to the center line again, creating a narrower point. Your plane is starting to take shape.
Wing Formation
Fold the paper in half along the center crease. Then fold the wings down, matching the top edges with the bottom edge of the plane's body.
Final Touches
Make small adjustments to the wings to ensure they're even. Add a piece of tape in between the wings to ensure your plane stays in shape. Your paper airplane now carries a message of hope.
