Q&A for How to Make a Paper Car

To remember which fold or spot to cut, draw it out or mark it first.

They used a hole puncher, but if you don't have one you can use a toothpick, which works just as well.

You should use a sturdy material for the wheels. Cardboard is a perfect choice!

If you make the first one, the wheels don't actually spin but you can pretend. The second version does have spinning wheels, so you can "drive" it around on the floor.

While you could try it, you may find that it's too thin.

Convert inches to whatever unit of measurement you have available. If you're not sure how, just google "convert inches to [your unit of measure]."

For the non-moving car it’s up to you because you can make it bigger or smaller ones for the moving one.

You can hot glue beads to the end, or use clay balls at the end. These options will stop the wheels from coming off.

Straws are a great alternative. Of course, there are a few adjustments you will need to make, like possibly a bigger wheel, or a bigger hole punched hole. If it comes down to this, you may have to scale everything up a bit to fit the straw, but still any other small stick like thing should work.

You could either blow the car from behind or you could just use your hands and move it around manually.

It's simple. If you're watching YouTube, you press the spacebar or the letter "k".

Sketch out what you want your toy car to look like. Next, cut it out. If you’re a child, use safety scissors. Then color it with felt tip pens and colored pencils.

Cardboard may be used for the wheels but will be too thick for the sides and hood of the car.

You just need time and effort. Use thin paper (not cardstock). That way it isn't as hard to crease (fold). Make sure to look at the instructions.

Use glue or a glue stick.
