Best Plane using cardboard and straw


Materials Required
1. A regular plastic drinking straw
2. 3 X 5 inch index card or stiff paper
3. Tape
4. Scissors

How Do I Do It
1. Cut the index card or stiff paper into 3 separate pieces that measure        1 inch (2.5 cm) by 5 inches (13 cm.)
2. Take 2 of the pieces of paper and tape them together into a hoop as      shown. Be sure to overlap the pieces about half an inch (1 cm) so that they keep a nice round shape once      taped.
3. Use the last strip of paper to make a smaller hoop, overlapping the         edges a bit like before.
4. Tape the paper loops to the ends of the straw as shown below.               (notice that the straw is lined up on the inside of the loops)
5. That's it! Now hold the straw in the middle with the hoops on top and     throw it in the air similar to how you might throw a dart angled slightly up. With some practice you can          get it to go farther than many paper airplanes.
