Office Paper Planes

Thought you could come to The Office website and just sit there and stare at your screen? It's time to get creative with our fantastic office paper planes!
We've created a truck load of templates for you to print out, fold up and throw at your work shy colleagues. Pick from David, Dawn, Gareth, Tim or Keith. Each lovingly made paper jet has a space for you to write a little message to your chosen target. If you're a novice paper folder then easy to follow pictorial instructions are below. A 5 year old could do it.
Here are your templates. Choose from JPG or PDF format - both will open in a new window and you can print from there. The PDFs take a little longer to load but are bigger and better - get Acrobat reader to view them. We've supplied JPGs for those of you who don't have, or don't want to install Acrobat. The JPGs will need to be cut to size.

Need a bit of help with your folding? Here's our easy step by step instructions. Follow them carefully for maximum performance!

Plane Folding Instructions:

fold in half
 turn down corners
 fold down triangle
 fold in new corners
1. Blank side up. Fold the page in half along Line 1. 2. Open the paper up again. Fold down corners A and B towards you so that they meet at the centre fold. 3. Now fold the triangle made by A & B down the blank side. 4. Take corners C and D and fold them in towards the centre of the page until their points touch E and F respectively.
       
ta da!
 fold up flap and lock
 fold back paper
 fold down wings
5. This is what you should have so far - the printed side is now showing. 6. Now fold up the little triangle marked "FLAP" so that it covers (and "locks") corners C & D. 7. Fold the paper back in half along Line 1. And you're almost there! 8. Now fold down the "wings" along Lines 4 & 5 so that the two halves of the face meet.

whoosh!
 

That's it! You're ready to fly!
