Step 1: Begin with a plain piece of A4 paper.

Step 2: Fold the paper in half length-ways

Step 3: Fold the corners into the middle with the centre fold sticking up.

Step 4: Fold the pointed end to about two-thirds of the way down the paper.

Step 5: Again fold the top corners into the middle of the paper, leaving a small triangle underneath.

Step 7: Fold the small triangle up.

Step 8: Fold the whole plane in half.

Step 9: Fold the wings of the plane down so that the edges run along the bottom of the plane

Step 10: Open up the wings, and your plane is ready to fly
