How to Make the Sugar Glider

Skill Level: Hard

Airplane Type: Acrobatic

Throw Style: Light to Medium Strength

*Note: You’ll need some scotch tape to make this airplane. 

Step 1:

Start with an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper.

Fold the paper downwards and then unfold it.

Step 2:

Fold the bottom of the paper upwards, so it touches the crease in the middle.

Step 3:

Next, fold the two corners down, as shown in the picture above.

Step 4:

The next fold is a little more complicated.

Start by folding up the folded edge of the previous step. At the same time you will be folding the edge of the paper down. Crease both sides well.

When you’re done it should look like the left-hand image above- with a small point sticking up.

Here is a little video of the fold being done:

Step 5:

Repeat step 4 on the other side. Your paper should look like the image above at this point.

Step 6:

Next, fold the two corners down so that the points slide into each other.

Step 7:

Use a piece of tape to hold the fold in place.

Step 8:

Then flip the plane over, and fold the wings into upward flaps. Now you are finished with the plane!
