Paper poppers are great for scaring and pranking your friends and siblings. When you fold a piece of paper correctly, you can make air pockets, creating a loud pop sound when you press the paper with the correct method. Just a piece of paper and some strength in your wrist to get started, and you’ll soon own a popper all for yourself!
Step 1:
Start by laying out a piece of paper. You do not want to make a stiff off the paper because otherwise, it will not work.
Step 2:
Then fold it half and then fold it in half.
Step 3:
Then, fold all the corners into the line you created in the earlier step. After that, fold it in half over the line.
Step 4:
It is then time to fold it into two and then fold it in half again.
Step 5:
After that, fold the corners on this line.
Step 6:
Fold it over so that it makes an arc. Please keep it in the position shown in the photo below, then whip your arms upwards. The arm should make a loud thud. When it is broken and out, it tends to get louder. Take your time and have fun.
Tips
- Keep your wrist downwards when throwing your popper for more volume.
- Try using different papers like coloured construction paper. Paper with diverse textures to test if you make more sounds.
- You can embellish your popper to make it stand out and individual.
