1+ 2+ 3 Paper Water Bomber _{By Ewan Spence}

Winged origami missile with front-load tank delivers wet payload.

You will need:

Piece of A4 or letter-size paper, knife or scissors, water, target

Key: Mountain fold

Valley fold

Crease line

1. Make the body.

a. Cut the paper to make a sheet with a length/width ratio of about 2: 1. b. At one end, fold each corner down to the opposite edge, then unfold, to make a square X crease. Turn over and fold the top edge down to bisect the X. Turn over again, push the edges in, and flatten the paper so there’s a point at the top. c. Turn over, and fold the triangle down along its bottom edge. Fold each entire top corner down along the centerline and unfold just the back corners. Leave the front corners folded down. d. Invert the crease you just made on the back corners, so they lie underneath and inside, making the top pointy again.
