I don’t know about you, but we love to create simple statement pieces for our kid’s rooms. Today we are sharing how to make a hanging art display using card stock paper and a little lesson in folding paper airplanes! This DIY paper airplane kids room décor project would be a fun craft to make on your own or with the kids. What a fun Craftabulous Supply of the Month!
Start with rectangle sized paper. Fold paper in half, long wise.
Fold the top corners into the center fold.
Next fold that angled piece down towards bottom of paper.
Fold the top corners in the center. You will have the tip of the triangle fold showing.
Fold that triangle piece up and over the corners.
Next, fold the paper in half (on original fold).
Fold the sides down to make the wings of the airplane. Do on both sides.
I used the inside of an 8″ embroidery hoop to make my paper airplane décor piece. Use a glue gun to attach the cord to the inside fold of the paper airplane. Because the plane is a bit top heavy, glue the cord a little off center (towards front) to balance. Tie the cord around the embroidery hoop. Hang as many planes as you want and hang from the ceiling by attaching three pieces of cording to hoop.
All you need are some foam gliders, canvas and a hot glue gun. Slide the wings into plane and cut the back side of wings. Glue onto the canvas and voila – you have handmade art!
