How to Make Different Paper Airplanes

Hold the paper so the long edge is parallel to the edge of the table. Take the bottom edge and fold it upward so it meets the top edge ("hot-dog style"). Crease the paper, then open it up again. Take the lower left hand corner and bring it up to the center crease; fold it again, so you have a triangle. Repeat with the upper left hand corner.
Refold the plane at the center line. You'll now have a shape with the longest edge along the bottom, one slanted edge, one vertical edge, and a remaining loose edge at the top. Take hold of the slanted edge about halfway along its length and grasp the short, vertical edge at a point across from your left hand. Fold down the paper at this point. You've formed a wing. Turn the paper around and repeat to form the other wing.
Grasp the plane along the longest edge at the bottom. Push the wings upward so they are parallel to the bottom edge. Throw!

Make a more pointed plane by following the steps above to the point where you've made two folds to the center line, but haven't yet refolded the plane at the center line. Grasp the point at the edge of the wing and fold it up to the center line; the result will be a long skinny triangle. Repeat with the other side.
Now, continue with the instructions for the basic plane above. The result will be a paper airplane with a much pointier profile.

Hold the paper so the long edge is parallel to the edge of the table. Take the upper right hand and upper left hand corners and fold them inward, so they form triangles and meet in the middle. Take the top point and fold it down to the place where the triangles meet.
Take the outer edge of the left triangle and fold it in about three-quarters of an inch. Repeat with the right side. Fold the left side of the plane over the right and crease along the center. To form the left wing, take the upper flap and fold it back, leaving about an inch for the body of the plane. Repeat with the other flap to form the right wing. Fold the tip of each wing upward about half an inch. Now you're ready to fly!

Cut a square piece of paper for this airplane. Fold it along both diagonals and open it out. Then, grasp the upper left hand corner and fold it so the top edge of the paper lies along the diagonal crease that runs from upper left to lower right. Next, take the lower left-hand corner and fold it so the bottom edge of the paper lies along along the diagonal crease that runs from upper right to lower left.
Take the plane's blunt nose and fold it over to the point where the two edges meet, then fold it over again. Fold the plane in half, and then fold each wing down, leaving about an inch for the body of the plane. Lift the wings away from the body to fly.

Make something completely different with this set of directions--- a flying ring. Hold a piece of paper lengthwise. Take the top edge and fold it down about half an inch. Fold it this way over and over until you are about three inches from the bottom edge. Take the left edge of the paper and begin rolling the paper into a cylinder (the folded edge with be on one edge of the cylinder). Take your time, because the folded paper will make shaping the cylinder a little difficult. Overlap the edges of the paper about half an inch and tape the cylinder shut.
Hold the folded edge in front and throw the cylinder, letting it roll off your fingertips like a football.
