Here’s how to make your own returning boomerang out of cardboard. Give it a whirl!
You will need the following:
- cardboard measuring 8 by 11 inches (20 by 28 centimeters)
- color markers
- scissors
- white glue or stapler
- Find an open area outdoors away from other people.
- With your arm raised, hold your boomerang vertically (pointing up) by one of its blades so the curved tips bend toward you.
- Throw the boomerang with a quick snap of your wrist using just a little force. Throw it like you would a baseball.
- Adjust the folds and practice your throw to make the boomerang fly better.

- Print out the blade patterns.
- Glue the printed sheet to a piece of cardboard.
- Cut out the two blades.
- Lay one blade on
 top of the other so they form an X shape, and staple or glue them together at the center.
 - Decorate your boomerang with markers.
- Fold up the ends of each cardboard strip about one inch from the end of each blade. Now, you are ready to fly it. Follow the tips at left.
