These wings may not help you fly, but they look pretty cool in motion! I discovered this project While thinking about what I could make with a binder. Pretty weird, right? Let me show you how to make them!

Materials:

Paracord. One piece, 145cm, two pieces, about 80cm, a binder, and an X-Acto knife.

Mark!

Mark a line with a straight edge (I used a meter stick) on the second ring. Then mark an “x” on the edge of the binder. Make sure to do this on both ends!

Cut!

Use the X-Acto knife to cut a hole in the binder where the “x” is.

Paracord!
