Introduction
Have you ever wanted to create a paper gun? Maybe you're a fan of origami, or perhaps you want to teach your kids a simple craft. Whatever your reason, folding a paper gun is a fun and easy activity that anyone can do. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create a simple paper gun using origami techniques. All you need is a square piece of paper and a few minutes of your time.Step 1: Fold the Paper in Half
Start by folding your square piece of paper in half diagonally. Make sure the corners are aligned and the crease is sharp.Take one corner of the paper and fold it up to the opposite corner. Crease the fold and then unfold the paper.
Step 2: Fold the Corners
Take the two corners that are closest to the folded edge and fold them towards the center crease. The points should meet in the middle of the paper.Now, fold the top and bottom edges of the paper towards the center crease. Crease the folds well.
Step 3: Fold the Paper in Half Again
Fold the paper in half again along the center crease. This will create a smaller square with the folded edges on top.Fold the bottom corners of the paper up towards the top corner. The two corners should meet at the center of the paper.
Step 4: Shape the Paper
Take the top layer of paper and fold it down towards the bottom edge. This will create a triangular shape at the top of the paper.Now, fold the paper in half again along the center crease. This will shape the paper into a long, thin rectangle.
Step 5: Create the Gun Barrel
Fold the top layer of the paper down towards the bottom edge, leaving a small triangle at the top. This will create the gun barrel.Now, fold the paper in half again along the center crease.
Step 6: Create the Trigger
Fold the top layer of the paper up towards the top edge, leaving a small triangle at the bottom. This will create the trigger.Now, fold the paper in half again along the center crease.
Step 7: Fold the Paper in Half Again
Fold the paper in half again along the center crease. This will create a smaller paper gun with the trigger and barrel sticking out.Take the trigger and fold it down towards the barrel. This will create a small tab that you can use to hold onto the gun.
Step 8: Create the Gun Handle
Fold the bottom layer of the paper up towards the top edge. This will create the gun handle.Now, fold the paper in half again along the center crease.
Step 9: Finish the Gun Handle
Take the bottom layer of the paper and fold it up towards the top edge. This will create a small tab that you can use to hold onto the gun.Finally, fold the paper in half again along the center crease. Your paper gun is now complete!
