The finished product should look like this:

To throw, hold between your thumb on one side of your hand and your middle and ring fingers on the other (again, see pictures below). Make sure your ring finger is above the weighted (i.e. layered) side or the flight will fail. When you release the paper, let it roll off your fingers, producing a spiral, just like a quarterback throwing a football. The faster the spin, the farther the paper will fly.
