Ok, so first you must download the template to make it easy for you to follow these steps, or you can be brave and just go for it like i did at first. So save the image above and print it!


Ok now fold up all the outer edges along the lines


Now make a crease down the middle


Now fold the corners like so along the line so they make a nice triangle and meet up in the middle


Now the other corner


Now fold up the edge like so


Now fold the two corners together. Make sure the edge part folds nicely at the tip too


Now flip me around like this


Now fold the tip up where the "X" is


Now fold the tip down where the line is like so


Now flip me around


This is the tricky part, fold along the long diagonal line, and have the tip align with the dark line that you can see through the paper.


Now do the same with the other side, just making the creases


Now lay me flat, and find the two remaining lines that you can see through the paper near the top


Now fold in along those lines that you see. It should look like this. Make sure you fold all the way


Now you might want to go over the long diagonal creases again before you do this next step. You have to pull the paper in a way so that it ends up like you see. This is 3D and as such is difficult to describe, but just fold in the paper, and the arrow tip should just "jump out"


Now you have to just here along the black line


And you should have this


Now cut along the middle, but make sure to ONLY CUT ONE LAYER OF PAPER. Near the end, watch out for the other piece that gets in the way. Cut all the way to the tip.


Now you should have something like this


Now lay it flat


Now fold in from the middle where you just cut up to the next crease on both sides. Should look like this.


Now you have to pull it all together, keeping the part you just folded under so it looks like so. This is essentially how it looked with the first 3D fold.


Now you have to staple here like so. I used a big stapler before, but i just destroyed the arrow. You wanna use a small stapler like mine. If you dont have one, you can
get a stapler here like i did, for only 2$! Very handy also because it won't crumple your arrow.


This is where you should have stapled, holding it all together (make sure you push the staple all the way in or you end up crumpled a bit)


Add another staple here with your super mini stapler


And there you go! Your super 3D arrow head is done! Now you can stick it to whatever you want as a body and there is your killer arrow! If you liked this then post a comment!
