A bamboo-copter made from a toilet paper roll core

[Flies Super Far] Let’s Make a Bamboo-Copter! [Crafting with a Toilet Paper Roll]

Here’s an idea for making a bamboo-copter using a toilet paper roll.

You’ll need a toilet paper roll, a straw, scissors, masking tape, and a pencil.

First, make a slit in the straw.

Next, mark the toilet paper roll, trace the shape of your thumb, and cut it out.

Finally, attach the straw to the inside of the toilet paper roll, and you’re done! If you color the roll or add patterns, it will look even nicer.

Give it a try!

Paper dragonfly

[Craft] I tried making a 'paper helicopter' that’s okay to fail at as many times as you like!

You can fix it no matter how many times you fail! Here’s an idea for a paper whirlybird.

You’ll need one straw, a piece of cardboard or thick paper cut to about 12 cm × 2 cm, tape, and scissors.

First, make 5–6 one-centimeter cuts in the straw.

Next, open up the cuts in the straw and tape it to the center of the paper.

Finally, twist the paper to create an angle, and you’re done! The great thing about this idea is that you can adjust the length as many times as you like.

Give it a try!

Here’s an idea for a straw helicopter toy.

You’ll need a milk carton, a straw, a pen, a stapler, and scissors.

First, cut the milk carton to make a rectangle.

The key is to round off the tip when you cut it.

Next, cut the straw and make a slit in it.

Finally, insert the cut piece of milk carton into the slit in the straw, and you’re done! If you draw a design on the milk carton with a pen, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind, original bamboo-copter-style toy.

Here’s an idea for making a bamboo-copter using cardboard and a bamboo skewer.

You’ll need tape, cardboard, and a bamboo skewer.

First, insert the skewer through the center of a cut piece of cardboard.

Next, use tape to secure the skewer and the cardboard together.

Finally, twist the cardboard to give both wings an angle, and you’re done! It’s a great idea because you can gather the materials at home and the steps are simple.

Painting it could be fun, too! Give it a try.

Paper-cup bamboo-copter

[Craft Play] Spin it and have fun! Paper Cup Bamboo-Copter

Let me introduce an idea for making a bamboo-copter using a paper cup! You’ll need a paper cup, a straw, scissors, an awl, and tape.

First, cut off the rim of the paper cup with scissors.

Next, make six evenly spaced cuts from the rim downward to divide the cup into sixths.

Open up the slits while folding the “wings” so they angle diagonally.

Finally, use the awl to make a hole in the bottom of the cup, insert a slit straw into the hole, and you’re done! It could also be fun to draw pictures or add color to the paper cup.

Bamboo-copter made from ice cream sticks

I tried making a taketombo (bamboo-copter) for a summer vacation craft using an ice cream stick – easy craft, handmade toy, traditional game, how to make a taketombo.

Here’s an idea for making a bamboo-copter using an ice cream stick.

You will need an ice cream stick, a bamboo skewer, craft glue, an awl, a utility knife, paper, a pencil, sandpaper, cardboard, and a drill.

First, use the paper, pencil, and bamboo skewer to mark the center of the ice cream stick, then drill a hole with the drill bit.

Next, shape the two wings by trimming with the utility knife.

The key is to shave off a little at a time rather than all at once.

Finally, cut the tip of the bamboo skewer, apply craft glue, and insert it into the ice cream stick—and you’re done!

Bamboo-copter made with origami

[Origami] How to Fold a Bamboo-Copter (Taketonbo)

Here’s an idea for making a bamboo-copter (taketombo) out of origami.

You’ll need origami paper in your favorite color, a straw, and some tape.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it.

Next, fold two corners toward the center, and fold it two more times.

After folding both ends, secure them with tape and make a crease in the middle.

Finally, insert the origami into a straw with a slit cut into it, fold it at a slight angle, and you’re done! You launch it just like a real bamboo-copter, so give it a try.

If you staple the tips of both wings, it increases the rotational force, so you can have fun with that variation too!

Bamboo-copter made from real bamboo

How to make a bamboo-copter (taketombo)

Here’s an idea for making a bamboo-copter (taketombo) from real bamboo.

You’ll need bamboo and a small knife.

First, cut the bamboo into 12 cm and 15 cm pieces, then trim their widths to 13 mm and 7 mm.

Next, use the small knife to carve the blade section.

Be careful not to use a utility knife, as the blade can snap! Finally, shape the shaft, drill a hole, assemble the parts, and you’re done.

After assembly, keep fine-tuning by shaving to adjust the balance.

Here’s an idea for making a bamboo-copter-style toy using a paper plate.

You’ll need a paper plate, a thick straw, tape, a pen, and a utility knife.

First, draw patterns or color the paper plate.

Next, make a cross-shaped slit in the center of the plate and open it up.

Insert a straw with slits cut into it through the opening.

Setting up targets and competing sounds fun too!
