How to Make Straw and Paper Airplanes

They may not look like regular paper airplanes, but they are guaranteed to fly every time. Assemble several in different colors and let the flying competitions begin.

You'll need: paper straws, scissors/paper cutter, cardstock and clear tape.

Start by cutting 5" x 1" strips of card stock. Each airplane will need three strips.

Once the strips are cut, tape two of the strips together at the ends. You now have one 5-inch strip and one strip that is approximately 10 inches long.

Tape the ends of each strip together to create a circle. Repeat this step on the other strip.

Once both circles are made, use a piece of tape to secure the end of the straw inside the large circle.

Repeat the step with the small circle, securing it to the opposite end of the straw.

In a matter of minutes, the airplanes are ready for flight.
