Steps at a glance
1. Fold in half lengthwise and unfold
Place the paper tall, white side up. Fold the left edge to the right edge and unfold to make a center crease.
2. Fold the top corners to the center
Fold the two top corners in so the top edges meet the center line.
3. Fold the edges to the center again
Fold the slanted edges to the center line again. The nose gets sharper.
4. Fold in half
Fold the right half behind along the center line, keeping the folded flaps outside.
5. Fold down the front wing
Fold the front wing over so its slanted edge lines up with the folded body edge.
6. Fold the back wing to match
Fold the back wing behind along the same line so it matches the front wing.
7. Open the wings
Open both wings so they are nearly level with the body like a T. Done!
