How to Make Your Grandpa's Paper Airplane

This is the same airplane my grandpa taught me when I was a young child.

Get Your Paper.

Any rectangular paper will work just fine.

Fold Paper in Half Length Wise

Fold the Top Edges Down and Line Them Up With the Crease.

Fold the Paper in Half Along the Same Line As in Step 2.

Fold the Top Edges of the Page Down Flush With Bottom of the Paper.

Now Fold the Same Edges Down Again to the Desired Wingspan.

Unfold the Wings and Turn the Plane Upside Down.

Make a Small Tear and Fold Near Middle Crease on the Bottom of the Plane

This will keep the airplane together as it flies.

Make Two Rectangular Fold on the Rear Side of Either Wing.

Bend these up or down and experiment with what works best for your plane.

Pinch the Plane on the Same Tear and Fold As in Step 8 and Throw Like a Dart!

Have fun and be safe! Try to avoid paper cuts and do not throw near people's heads.
