1. Cut the cardboard tubing to length at an angle.

2. All that is needed for the paper airplane display base is this tube and a 3/4" binder clip.

3. The hard part is trying to find a way to hold the clip in place while hot gluing. The easiest way is to get someone to help and use a pair of pliers to hold the clip in place while you glue. Do not hold clip with just fingers! I have shown how I was able to make a clamp setup to hold clip in place with no one to help.

4. Close up of where to add glue. Place a nice thickness of glue here and add some on the bottom of the clip to make a solid joint.

5. Finished paper airplane display stand. This will add a nice touch to a science fair project presentation.
