1. Beginning on one end of the paper, fold it down evenly about 1 inch. Repeat this step for a total of 8 folds. Keep your folds as tight and even as possible.
2. Flip the paper airplane over and fold it in half as shown. Good, tight folds on step 1 will make this easier, but a few crinkles won't hurt it.
3. Fold the first wing starting 1/2 to 1 inch from the center fold.
4. Fold the second wing exactly as you did the first.
