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!

  • Thanks now i have somthing to keep my younger brother to stop bothering me!!!!!

  • @TheNik1110 Hah, nice dude! Glad to see you're keeping your brother entertained in order to keep him off your back! Pretty clever, but be sure to make one for yourself too because they are fun for pretty much anyone--I love throwing it around :-)

  • I made it but it doesn't fly right

  • @thekevin126 Make sure that it's first made correctly. Watch really carefully and make sure it looks just like mine. After that, I would check out my Super Boomerang video, which you can find to the right ----> and go to the 4:00 mark. I give some extra tips showing how to throw this boomerang. Good job making it, and be sure to practice the way I show how to throw it, thanks!

  • AWESOME!!! This will keep me entertained for a few hours. Haha

  • @sk8bordingMONKY Hah, great! I told you so :-P Have fun
