its more of a decoration than a throwing square... it doesn't throw very well, but it looks pretty kool ;)

[fisherblue23]

does that mean i have to cut off some ones hands?!

[lily8o]

excuse me, but those are called spinners... they are ment for spinning like a top.

damnit i was going to post this!!! I thought i was the only guy who knew about this. I thought i invented it 8 years ago fiddling with paper!!! WAH you beat me and you deserve 5 stars please reply

[undeadman76]

pretty much all you are making is a ninja star. But you don't cut paper. I really love making these. I will teach you how to make a shuriken and kunai once I'm able to upload some pictures . I might even make a video. Nice throwing squares. I threw mine so hard it almost stuck to the door. Nice video and thank you. XOXO

[shadon]

this is cool thank you for the idea

[garrett10]

I know how to make one of these with printer (8.5" x 11") paper and you can write notes on it and throw it across the room to your friend at school. the cool thing is the teacher won't be able to open it 1. because their fingers are too big. 2. you HAVE to do certain steps in a certain order

these are fun really really fun but i like to put 2 small neodium magnets so when i throw them they stick onto metal doors not in class of course

hey guys. whats with all the knex stuff? i dont own any knex blocks.

[i make shooting things]

random much??? my guess cause i have at at least 40 million in boxes in the attic (not to mention the 100 million legos). And suddenly i can use them to build weapons and i-pod docks and coke dispensers basically now i can build/share things that are semi useful.

[maxmaz2]

sweet nice job check out my pics I used 2 diff colored post-its and weighted them w/ nickels

[i kill stuffs]

I make them a different way 1 paper no cutting gets a flat back and x on the front.

[xylo0]

I always learned these as paper tops. If you fold it in half diagonally(both ways) then unfold it, it makes an upside-down pyramid-ish thing that makes a great top. But I guess you can throw them at people as well.

isnt this the "Menko" from origami-club?

[i make shooting things]

yeah there the same thing. thanks ill up date the instructable a bit

[PenSpinner]

but they're fun to throw at friends

[tony48]

you might as well just fold up a piece of paper in half like 4 or 5 times and throw it

[i make shooting things]

It would just unfold in air and be extremely inaccurate and would have no durability at all.

[tony48]

then just fold the edges together or something. this is a big waste of time to make a little square

[i make shooting things]

we had paper wars last year so every one was making tweeties/hornets throwing stars squares ect. so i wasent waisting time i was living life. (and i passed all final exams, advanced so its not like i just sat their all day making these little things)

[kennytatheguy]

Faster to make than stars, and much more durable. The pointed edges on stars easily get dented when thrown, but these dont as much, and like you guys said, Squares beat Stars when passing them off

[Lord Of Mystra]

not bad>

[centuries2late]

there is another way that you can do this, using full 8.5 by 11 sheets, which is almost exactly the same, but is just one piece throughout. using two sheets on top of each other makes it more accurate. and if you want it to be shiny, wrapping it with metal repair tape has a similar effect to using tinfoil, and might be a little more durable.

[i make shooting things]

pic 4 is 8.5-8.5 you can cut down an 8.5-11 to 8.5-8.5 it will be i think i mentioned that i used small post-it notes in instructable so its easier to photograph

[raykholo]

extremely cool and easy. they also have much more strength then shuriken, and hurt a lot more when thrown correctly.

For some reason I thought at first that these were supposed to break apart when they hit the target, but the design is too sturdy to allow for that....
