This DIY set from ThinkGeek allows people to create a paper USS Enterprise. The flying machine even includes LEDs and a chip for sound effects.
The music chip plays the theme from the original Star Trek to give your little paper spacecraft meaning and encouragement as you let it soar through your room. Other features include the use of tin and metal-accented paper.
This paper USS Enterprise project makes a great gift, especially for do-it-yourself types out there. Once the piece is completed, it can be used as a toy or a decoration. I would certainly recommend hanging it right above your bed, so when you go to sleep you can play the theme to softly lull you as the ship gently sways.
