The first airplane I will teach you how to make is The Arrow.

Sorry this is blurry.  Fold a sheet of paper exactly in half long-ways, and re-open it so you have a crease separating the two halves.

On one end of the paper, fold each corner in towards the center to the point where the inside edges are even with the centerline crease.

Starting at the very tip of the point, fold the paper down on each side so the inside edges line up with the center crease.

Turn the paper airplane over and fold it in half along the centerline.

The bottom edge of the corners that you just folded down should create a straight line across the page. Fold down at this line.

Fold the corners down again similar to what you did in step 18, folding each corner in towards the center to the point where the inside edges are even with the centerline crease.

Flip the plane over and fold it in half. That's it!

Those are all the airplanes we made. Have fun.
