Cereal Box Airplane
I made this airplane by cutting out the different pieces of it from a cereal box. I google image searched biplanes to get an idea of what I wanted to do. Using a ruler and a pencil, I drew out the shapes on the inside of the cereal box. I cut them out using scissors.
I apologize for the poor picture quality, they were taken on my cell phone because I do not own a cell phone
This project was fairly easy to make. You can print out pictures of planes and trace them or sketch them onto the cereal box. I was feeling adventurous, so I did it by hand. It does take some patience, waiting for the glue to dry before adding on the next piece.

Putting It All Together
Once all the pieces are cut out, I glued them together using wood glue. I used toothpicks to hold up the pieces and keep them stable while the glues dried.
The Wheels
For the wheels, I used these round bits of plastic I found lying around and glued them to small lengths of wire hanger, then glued them to the actual plane.
