Making a paper helicopter is a fun and easy project that both kids and adults can enjoy. The best part is, you only need a few materials to get started. All you'll need is a sheet of paper, a pair of scissors, and some tape. Once you have your materials ready, simply follow these simple steps.
Firstly, take your sheet of paper and fold it in half lengthwise. Then, unfold the paper and fold each corner down towards the center crease so that they meet in the middle. Next, fold the bottom edge up to meet the top edge and then make another fold about an inch below the first one. Now it's time for the fun part! Cut along each folded line until you reach the center crease, making sure to stop cutting before reaching it. Lastly, unfold your creation slightly so that it resembles a helicopter blade shape.
Once you're done folding and cutting your paper helicopter, attach a small piece of tape or paperclip to its bottom end to add some weight. This will help stabilize its flight. Hold your helicopter by its top point and drop it from shoulder height to watch it spin gracefully towards the ground like a real helicopter in motion!
Get creative by using different colored papers or experimenting with different sizes for more variety in designs! It's also interesting to see how tweaking certain elements such as weight distribution or blade size can affect flight patterns.
So why not try making these easy paper helicopters today?
