Paper Frisbee

This is great fun and best made out of small squares of paper maybe 15cm by 15cm (6" by 6") and thrown like a normal frisbee it will fly quite well especially indoors.

    Put a spot of glue on the point marked "a" in DIG. 5 and slide into the pocket of the next unit. Do this for all eight units and at the end you will have a complete circle similar to that in the diagram at the top of the page.

Paper Frisbee Flying

Hold the frisbee as at the beginning of the animation to the left and flick your arm and wrist throwing the frisbee spinning at the quickest moment of arm movement.

Unfortunately the frisbee does not fly well when thrown like a normal frisbee I am working on finding a tesellation that goes together to form a frisbee that flies like the traditional ones.
