Use mini craft sticks and antique paper to create your own flying machine!

Step 1
Using Creativity Street mini craft sticks, design and construct a base for your flying machine. Mini craft sticks can be easily cut with scissors and glued with any white glue. Make sure you leave a space on the sides wide enough to glue on wings and a space to glue on the tail.
Step 2
Fold a piece of Roylco antique paper in half. Draw half of a tail design on the fold and one wing (not on the fold). Cut out the pieces.
Step 3
On the back side of the wings and tail, draw lines where the wooden reinforcements will go for added stability.
Step 4
Cut mini craft sticks to the lengths drawn and glue them to the paper.
Step 5
Glue the wings and tail to the base structure.
