Fold in half (corner A to D), then fold opposite corners together (corner B to C)to find the center (just pinch it there). This is important for getting the planesquare.

Step 2: First edge

Image 3: Fold corner A to the center. This is very important to insure symmetryand thus no whacky flight paths.

Step 3: Series of folds

Image 6: Bend the folded section onto the other half of the paper, forming atriangle.

Step 5: Popes hat

Image 7: Bend corners B & C together forming a circle and tuck one end into theother. It should look something like a Pope hat. Use glue or tape or a staple tokeep the corners together.

It's easiest to throw when held as shown in image 7. A slow pitch works betterthan a knuckle ball hurl so go easy. The curved edges of the tail can be bent fortrim, which is likely necessary. On a calm day it will go as far as you care to walkafter it. Or don't, you can make 10 for less than the cost of a cold root beer.Happy folding!
