This delightful book shows how to make thirty-two origami (folded paper) models that really fly. All designs are made simply by folding squares or rectangles of paper (and even dollar bills!) without cutting, gluing, taping, or weighting.

Wings & Things is great fun and will challenge and inspire beginning and expert folders alike-perfect for anyone who ever tossed a paper airplane.
