Flying Ring

The Flying Ring doesn’t look like something that would fly, but it does amazingly

well. Throw it with the folded edge to the front, and let it roll off your fingertips. The

spin stabilizes and produces long, fast flights.

Begin by folding along the first fold line. Continue

folding this strip over itself until you reach the stop

line. Make firm creases with each fold.

Your paper should look like this when you reach the

bottom fold line.

Gradually work the paper into a cylinder shape with

the folded edge along the outside. Sometimes it is

easier to do this by grasping both ends of the paper

and pulling it back and forth over the edge of a desk

to help start the curve. Once you have made the

cylinder shape, overlap the edges by about ½ inch

and place a piece of tape on the outside seam to hold

it together. You’re ready to fly! Throw the ring

with the folded edge forward by letting it roll off

your fingertips to put spin on it as you release.
