Paper Rocket Plane: Step-by-Step Instructions with Photos and Comments
For this paper rocket plane, you don't need any special crafting materials. A simple A4 sheet is completely sufficient. We recommend using slightly thicker printer paper (80–100 g/m²) to keep the wings stable. Smooth paper is easier to fold, but with a little patience, it can also be done with crafting paper or colorful sheets.
If you are crafting with children, it helps to lightly crease the fold lines beforehand to make them more visible during folding. Caution: Watch out for little fingers near sharp corners!
🧾 You will need:
- 1 sheet of paper, DIN A4 (smooth & not too thin)
- Scissors (for the cut at the tail)
- Ruler (optional for precise folding)
