The Hover Ring

It's not a plane, it's a tube — and it flies.

The Hover Ring is a tube of paper — and somehow it's one of the best flyers you'll ever throw. It cuts the air, spins a tiny bit, and glides like a UFO.

How to fold it

Use a US Letter or A4 sheet. Take your time on the first crease — every other fold depends on it.

  1. 1

    Start with a sheet of paper the long way.

  2. 2

    Fold the bottom edge up about an inch.

  3. 3

    Fold it up again three or four more times until you have a thick strip at the bottom.

  4. 4

    Curl the paper into a ring with the thick strip on the outside.

  5. 5

    Tape or tuck the ends together so it holds.

Make it yours

Swap the color, change size, add the pilot's name. The plane in the preview updates as you pick.
