Step	Image	Instruction
1		Take a rectangular piece of paper.
2		Make a diagonal fold starting from the left bottom corner.
3		Unfold
4		Repeat the diagonal fold on the other side.
5		Unfold
6		Flip the paper.
7		Create a central crease along the shorter edge by taking the bottom horizontal edge to touch the top edge and then, unfold.
8		Pick up the left edge and fold it so that it touches the intersection point of the diagonal folds.
9		Pick up the new edge on the left and make one more fold, on to itself, thereby making the size of the strip to half the original size.
10		Pick up the new edge on the left and make a fold towards the right.
11		This is a complex fold. Pick up the paper, unfold the last fold slightly and fold it along the horizontal crease so that the previous fold sticks out. Watching the video might help understanding this better. Start at 2:35 seconds.
12		Open up and flatten the fold on both sides.
13		Open the top flap, fold the bottom left corner so that the bottom edge aligns with the valley crease inside.
14		Fold the new flap on the bottom left, along the valley crease.
15		Flip the paper.
16		Repeat the folds on this side. Open up the flap and fold the top left corner, so that the top edge aligns with the valley crease.
17		Fold the new flap on the top left, along the valley crease.
18		Let us fold the wings. Turn the paper 90 degrees clockwise. Pick up the top flap and fold it downwards, making a parallel crease 1-1.5cm above the bottom edge.
19		Flip the paper.
20		Repeat the fold for the other wing making sure the fold aligns with the wing on the other side.
21		To create a stabilizer, pick up the bottom edge and make a 1cm fold towards the center of the wing.
22		Match the fold on the other wing.
23		Unfold the wings so that they look like a flat plane. Unfold the stabilizers so that they are perpendicular to the wing planes.
