Paper Tricks and Pop Up Cards that kick butt!
Make a Paper Helicopter
June 8th, 2008 by ricko
This is an old favourite. Maybe not as imaginative or clever as some paper tricks or pop-up-cards…but it works!
Start with a sheet of paper or click here to use a ready made cut-out.
Cut out the helicopter as shown in the picture. Fold the two rotors and add a small weight to the bottom like a paper clip.
When your paper helicopter is ready, drop it from a small height and watch it spin softly to earth. Enchanting.
In my next post I’ll show you how to make a genuine ‘spinning ghost‘ – a design I came up with last Easter when holidaying with our two young boys and their cousins.
