Supplies Required:
- A4 Sheet of Paper or a Foolscap Paper with 70-90 GSM for origami plane
- Ruler or Flat thick object to flatten the folded edges to make a strong crease.
Step 1:
- Keep the A4 sheet of paper in portrait orientation before folding the paper into half
- Fold the paper into half and UNFOLD it back.
- Make a cone by bringing the top right-hand edge and top left-hand edge to the center crease.
Step 2:
- Now, fold the left & right side diagonal edges to the centre crease as shown in Fig.3
Step 3:
- Fold the nose down and make sure the nose matches the straight line.
- Turn the paper over to the other side

- Once folded make sure the fold’s bottom is parallel
Step 5:
- Mountain fold the nose as shown in Fig.5
- Origami paper plane has sometimes a sharp nose approach on their designs. But what makes it complicated is that the complex level of paper foldings.
Step 6:
- This step is the final fold, As shown in fig.6 you need to fold the centre line inside (Fold into the half with the mid-dotted line as centre)
- Then make the wings, (Compare fig.6 & fig.7)
Step 7:
- Lift-up the wings a bit and launch the plane in the mid-section.
- The sky is all yours, throw your origami paper airplane into the air! Just fair!
Origami Paper Plane Flying Technique:
- Hold the Plane behind the centre of the plane’s gravity centre.
- Keep your left foot slightly forward and launch it in 30 – 40 degrees angle, throw it steadily with a medium force. If it fails, tweak the tail wing slightly up and try again.
- Try different angles and forces now! Wow, That’s how one learns properly with more trying and flying. Kudos!
