Father's Day

Step 1Begin by folding your piece of paper in half length ways. Unfold the paper.
Step 2Flip the paper over and fold the top two corners in towards the fold in the paper.
Step 3Fold the paper in half length ways again. Your folded paper should now have a pointed tip. Open the paper back up.
Step 4Fold the pointed end of the paper in towards the fold at the centre again.
Step 5Repeat the step above with the other side of the paper.
Step 6Fold the paper in half at the centre fold again.
Step 7Create a wing by folding the square end of the paper down on itself.
Step 8Repeat the step above with the paper on the other side of the fold. You should now have two wings.
Step 9Flatten the fold in the centre and wings so it becomes crisp and flat.
Step 10Open up the wings so they stand up.
Step 11Fold the front tip of your aeroplane up to create a wind breaker.
Step 12Decorate your plane with coloured paper.
Don’t forget to put a paperclip on the tip of your plane to give it some weight!
