In this tutorial, I will explain how to turn a regular sheet of printer paper into an origami boomerang... well actually 2 origami boomerangs!! :-) You will need a simple Letter Sized sheet (8.5 x 11 inches) or an A4 size paper. No tape or anything else is required.

I also explain at the end the way we must position the boomerang in order to throw it properly. If it falls to the ground check to see if:
1) It's upside down, refer to 12:40 for the proper way to position it before throwing--it does matter.
2) You may be angling it too far down, which can cause it to not come back all the way--try angling it upwards at an angle.
3) It's made the correct way and looks just like mine. It takes a bit of practice, and make sure to spin it really fast. Check my "Super Boomerang" Video (Link above) for another demonstration of how it's thrown.

This will keep you busy for hours and is fun for all ages. Once you show off your boomerang to friends, they are definitely going to want one! Please refer them to this video if you enjoy! :-)

Hope that everyone had a great break and got to spend time with the family :-) It has been a great year!

Thanks for watching and don't forget to comment, rate, and subscribe to my videos. Thanks!

  • hey Rob! I discovered that you can build a larger model of this out of bogus paper. You will need the piece to be exactly 4x the size of the standard printer paper, this can be done by laying four sheets of printer paper ,two on the top and two on the bottom ,then trace and cut out the piece of paper . From there it works just the same as with the printer paper.

  • on my first attempt it worked !

  • it realy works its awesome

  • It came back

  • nice tnx for it
