How to Fold an
Origami Jet Plane

1.     Start with the paper white side up.  Fold in half, corner to corner.

2.  Fold in half again.

3.  Unfold the last step.

4.     Fold the lower left edge to the folded edge.

Crease only to the crease line indicated by the arrow in the second photo.

5.     Unfold the last step.  Repeat the last step on the adjacent side.

6.  Starting from the outer corners, refold the two creases.

An upright triangle will form in the center.

7.     Squeeze the triangle flat.

Press it both right and left to make a good crease on the center line.

8.  Open the triangle and squash fold it into a little kite shape.

Use a blunt tool or your little finger to open it before squashing.

9.  Fold the little kite in half.

10. Pick it up and fold the right half behind.  Allow the half-kite to hang down.  Result:

11.  Now make two tiny folds to form the pointy nose of the jet.

12.  Turn over and repeat the two folds on the other side.

13.  Now we're going to form the tail using an inside reverse fold.

Start by folding the corner to one side as shown.  This forms "helper" creases you will use in the next step.

14.  Unfold and push the tail up between the wings, using the creases you made in the last step.

The result:

15.  Fold the top wing down on the line indicated.

The result:

16.  Turn over and repeat on the other side.

17.  Fold edge A to edge B.

The result:

18.  Turn over and repeat on the other side.

19.  Grab two layers and fold down.

20. Fold the top layer back as shown.

21.  Turn over and repeat the two folds on the other side.

A creasing tool helps since it's quite thick now.

22.  The folding is done!  Open the wings out and your origami jet plane is cleared for take off!
