Paper Plane Doorstoppers

The Airplane Doorstop is a Fun Way to to Prop Doors Open

— September 6, 2013 — Art & Design
This airplane doorstop is a nostalgic way to keep your doors open, and it will also help keep them closed in order to get rid of drafts. Back in elementary school, many of us would make paper planes. We would throw them around, or if we were a trouble maker, maybe even at our teachers. However, as we get older, we stop making them.

With his door stop, you can have the feeling of youth all while making sure the stopper performs an appropriate, respectably adult function. This stopper is made out of an EVA plastic which makes it very strong. Its aesthetic is also interesting, since it genuinely looks as though a paper airplane has been stuffed under your door.

If you are looking for a throwback to older days, then this airplane doorstop is the perfect way to keep your doors propped open.
