STEP 1:
Print the flying-squirrel pattern on an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper.

-
STEP 5:
Then take the top left corner and fold it over to the center crease.

STEP 6:
Now that the top of the paper forms a triangle, take the top point and fold it down to meet the edge of the previously folded pieces.
-
STEP 7:
Fold the right side of the paper in to the center crease.
-
STEP 8:
Then fold the left side of the paper in to the center crease.
-
STEP 9:
Fold the paper in half vertically again.
-
STEP 10:
Fold the two sides out so that you can see the flying squirrel on the top of the plane.
