Rubber Band Flying Paper Butterfly

Some years ago, a local organisation was asking us to come out an idea in making a paper flying butterfly based on the commercial available one. It should be easy for children to make and low cost.
They have tried and tested several model using paper clips and rubberband ..but the metal body is just to heavy to make it "FLY".

So we set to do some research and test, and found that by using a simple balloon stick (cut to small size) , a bead and a wire. With a cutout which you can download free from our website here :http://web.singnet.com.sg/~csqf2828/instruction.htm . We came out with the Rubber Band Flying Paper Butterfly.

With these simple and low cost materials , we make about 5000 pcs of parts to supply just in time for the children project carnival.

Thanks a mill for giving me link. But i'm on dial-up(yes, i'm that far behind the times) and there is no way i can download 57mb. It estimated download time of almost an hour. Is there anyway you can just email me the wing diagrams?

Kiddyhub (author) in reply to Matrix-technicianMay 31, 2011. 8:53 PM

It must just be my comp because it's still saying "oops!, direct link disabled. try another survey?" And all of the surveys lead to that page.

will a straw work for the tube?

Kiddyhub (author) in reply to oldanvilyoungsmithMay 6, 2009. 7:47 PM

straw is too soft...the tension from the rubber band will crush it :)

Football viking boy in reply to KiddyhubJan 15, 2011. 8:09 AM

tape electical tape around the straw, to make it more sturdy

rikels in reply to KiddyhubDec 13, 2009. 10:34 AM
