Creative-sunday: making a jet plane from used cigarette wrapping paper
Published on HivePostify by @yuliadi · Sun Aug 30 2026
Hello creative friends How are you all?
It's been a long time since I participated in #creative-sunday. I've missed you all so much. This time, I'll be participating in a creative activity with my own hands. I've actually been thinking about what I'll do today, especially since we haven't seen each other for so long.
I realize that the weekend gives me plenty of time to rest at home and do good things with my family. However, until midday, I couldn't decide what I would do today. I even considered cooking a delicious dish or drawing, but all of that was interrupted because I had to attend a wedding reception in my village.
I really didn't give up and didn't want to miss out again this week. I was determined to participate this time. While I was lying down on my lunch break, I had the idea to make a toy jet plane out of cigarette wrappers. That was it! I immediately got up and went to the kiosk to ask for used cigarette wrappers, and I quickly prepared the materials.
The materials I need are one pack of cigarettes, one pair of scissors and one knife, it's very simple I don't need glue or other tools, now I have all the ingredients, I will start immediately
First of all, I will open the cigarette pack and take out all the inside parts, inside the cigarette box there is a sheet of tin-covered paper, and I also open the glued part, as I did in the picture below
I have opened all the cigarette packs and sorted out the parts
I will make this part into the fuselage of a toy jet plane and also the wings, namely the white part as the fuselage for the toy plane and the green part I will make into the wings
This is the part of the jet fuselage that I started to form, I just need to roll up this part of the paper and make the legs so that it can stand up, after that I will make the wings of this jet plane
For I folded the right and left sides of the wings so they were right in the middle, then I cut a hole in the middle with a knife.
The purpose of this hole is to insert and combine the jet fuselage with the wings. In this way the two parts will lock together so it is easy to adjust and won't come off. I didn't use glue.
Now it has started to take shape and looks like the body and perfect toy jet plane, okay now I will make the tail of the jet plane
This is part of the inner lining of a cigarette pack, how to make it I just roll it into a round like this and insert the support and it works, once it's finished I insert it through the tail,
After completing the body and tail of this toy jet, I will then make a long, pointed front part
For the front I used the paper in cigarette packaging which was coated with tin. First I folded it in half so it was shorter, then I rolled the front to make it sharp and the back to be round and big.
Once the size was right and neat, I inserted it into the jet's body through the tail and pulled it forward slowly while rotating it.
When the fitting felt right, I finished, and I had finished making a creative toy jet boat from cigarette wrappers. This is the result.
This toy jet boat is very popular with children and can be a great toy. I used to make them often for my son and nephew, but now that they're older, I feel creativity needs to be increased, and utilizing used items for creative purposes is one way to reduce waste.
That's my creative work today. I hope you enjoyed it and enjoyed it. Regards @yuliadi
