These little whirligigs will fly to varying degrees with no further accessories, but you can add paper clips for weight and stability or experiment with different types of paper and blade designs. Fold the blades out in opposite directions. Snip down the center of the single layer of paper, lengthwise, but stop about a ½-inch from the double layer.Ĥ. Once you’ve done so, unfold one layer, leaving a double layer of paper on one end.ģ. Slicing down the length of your sheet, make as many strips as you want, each 1 to 2 inches wide.Ģ. Scissors will give you cleaner cuts and a more streamlined look, but we were also successful just tearing the paper with our bare hands.ġ. Real helicopters are marvels of engineering, but these are not. How to make a paper helicopter A paper helicopter prepares for a flight into the abyss. Flip over the corresponding panel, revealing their fate. Ask them to choose a number, open it that many times (alternating directions), and have them pick a color. Now, reassemble the fortune teller, slip it back over your fingers, and turn to whoever you’re with. On ours, each large triangle has two colors on the back. Unfold each one and write two fortunes-one of the left and one on the right. Flatten the fortune teller so the triangular flaps are on top. There are many ways to trick out your fortune teller, but we gave gave each of the eight inner triangles its own color.Ĩ. The outside flaps will raise and once your fingers are in position you’ll be able to open the fortune teller in two directions.ħ. With the creased side (where the hot dog would rest) facing down, slide your thumbs and index fingers under the square flaps on the outside and slowly push the top corners together. Open it up and fold it in half again, this time, perpendicular to the crease you just made.Ħ. Keeping the folds you just made on the inside, fold it like a hot dog bun or a taco shell. Fold each of the four corners in to meet in the center.ĥ. Fold each of the paper’s four corners so they meet in the center.Ĥ. Unfold everything-this will help you identify the center of the paper in the following steps.Ģ. Then fold the resulting triangle in half. Before you start, make sure your paper is square.ġ. This craft is one of the more difficult on this list, but we’ve placed it high up because of how common a tool it was for trying to find out if your crush liked you back, or if you were going to pass the next test. How to make a fortune teller You can write pretty much anything you want on the inside. Just don’t flick it directly at anyone’s face. Now, choose an opponent, learn the rules of paper football, and pretend your kitchen table is a packed stadium. It might take a little work, but the excess paper will fit neatly inside the pocket in the body of the “ball.” Stuff the excess paper into the folded football. When you’re done, you’ll have something close to a triangle.Ĩ. With the longest edge of your shape facing you, fold the top left corner down. Keep folding in this pattern until you have a small rectangle of excess paper left at the end of the strip.ħ. When you redo Step 4, bring the top left corner to the right edge. Square off the folded end of the strip by bringing the triangle down.Ħ. Grasp the top right corner of your strip and fold it down until it touches the opposite edge. Make a triangle in Step 4, then fold down to complete Step 5. When you’re done, you’ll have a long strip in front of you. Make each side touch the center crease.ģ. This dense little triangle looks kind of like the ol’ pigskin, and it’s hefty enough to travel several feet if you’ve got a strong flicking finger.ġ. How to make a paper football Just a couple of paper footballs hangin’ out. Just grab a sheet of printer or notebook paper, maybe a pair of scissors, and start folding. School and work might look a bit different right now, but fun doesn’t have to. So it’s no surprise that young students have been able to create entertainment out of perhaps the most abundant classroom resource-paper. Children have such active imaginations that anything can be a toy, even if it’s not supposed to be.
