Here's a 1 minute Finger Tip that needs only a small piece of tissue paper.

Remember you can time yourself by using the clock that has popped up with this page.

Can you beat Stephen's studio time of 36 seconds?
Make a fold from the top left to the bottom right, diagonally.
Now fold from top right to bottom left, also diagonally.
Turn the tissue paper over and make a tray shape by folding up about 1cm along each edge, as you can see here.
To complete, pinch the corners together.
Stop the clock!

What you've made is a simple flying machine.

Test it by holding like this, with the index fingers from both your hands in the centre of the paper.
Spin yourself round on the spot and watch it spin - but don't make yourself too dizzy like Stephen did!

Pretty good, eh?
