A paper plane is a simple creation that reflects both art and function. In a world of electronic gadgets and toys, the paper plane presents a calming and simple alternative for entertainment. A quality paper airplane should fly a reasonable distance while maintaining an impressive amount of time in the air. You can make such an airplane quite simply without the addition of cuts or tape.

  Unfold the paper so that you can see the crease that you made in step one.

  Fold each of the top corners down and inward until they each meet the center crease.
- 4
  Fold each of the top corners to the center once more.
