Folding Finger Holders for Paper Airplane
So, we've just folded the nose down and we're ready to make our finger holsters. These two flaps will be inserted into this little space that was made earlier in our folding process .So, what you will do is just kind of bend them a little bit. And, insert the corner of this triangle into this pocket. Both sides. And, the basic shape of the plane is done. This is where your fingers go, right in here. Or, like this to if you want. So again, let me unfold this and show you what we have done. We started with a plain piece of paper, fold it over once to make a triangle. Slitting that triangle in two to make a little house shape. Then you unfold, you have two creases making an X. At which point, you fold them inverted to make a house again. But, it's upside down. See the flaps come up. You then take the two corners of this triangle on top and bring them to a point. Then, you split those two triangles bringing the points downward. Fold the nose down, then you insert the flaps to the pocket. If you can get them in there. The basic plane is ready.
