3D competition
Keep on folding…
Make your own 3D object and enter our Facebook
competition for your chance to win a prize every week!
How can a piece of paper change into a 3D object?
Origami is the art of folding paper to make shapes and
figures. Follow the instructions below to make your
very own creation…
1
Fold a piece of
A4 paper in half
lengthwise, then
flatten it out again.
2
Fold the two top
corners in to meet in
the middle. This will
make a point.
6
Fold the paper
in half again away
from you, lengthwise
and turn it over.
7
Fold one wing down
as shown and repeat
on the other side.
Fly!
Colour in your aeroplane and stick bits on to make it
special, and enter our competition for a chance to win
a prize every week.
You can enter our competition in one of three ways:
3
Fold the top point
downward.
Ask an adult to take a photo of your creation and then visit
our Facebook page. There’s a special competition app on
this page which will tell your adult how to enter.
Tweet a picture of your aeroplane to @sciencemuseum
using the hash tag #3Dsummercomp.
Or simply email us at: [email protected]
The competition closes at midnight on 8 September 2013.

Fold the top two
corners inward,
leaving a straight edge
at the top. The bottom
tip of the point will
still be visible.
Fold the bottom tip
of the point upward
to cover the two
folded-in corners.
3D fact alert: In the future, parts used to make an
aeroplane could be 3D printed. Imagine that! Visit our
3D: Printing the Future exhibition launching in October
to find out more about 3D printing and see examples
of 3D printed aeroplane parts.
