An origami banger is a fun paper project that bangs when you flick your wrist.

Steps

  1. Place the paper wrong-side up then fold it horizontally then unfold it.
  2. Then fold all the corners of the paper to the crease you just made.
  3. Fold the paper across, with the corners facing in, using the horizontal crease.
  4. Fold the trapezoid left to right then unfold it.
  5. Then fold the bottom corners to the crease in the middle so the points stick out.
  6. Then fold the two edges/points together so it forms a triangle.
  7. To use the banger, pull your wrist down quickly with the longest edge facing you. To re-use the banger just gently push the paper back in.

Tips

  • Practice makes perfect!
  • The thinner the paper, the louder the bang.
  • These break easily, so don't get angry if the banger doesn't last long.
  • Make sure the long edge is facing you, or it won't bang.

Warnings

  • Not a good idea to use this in school, or a quiet place.
