A method of forming an airfoil with an integrated platform includes: a) providing an airfoil core; b) wrapping a first overwrap ply around the airfoil core; c) darting a first end of the first overwrap ply to allow the overwrap ply to extend perpendicular to the airfoil core to form a first platform; d) filling the darted parts filler plies; e) wrapping a second overwrap ply around the first overwrap ply; f) darting a first end of the second overwrap ply to allow the second overwrap ply to extend adjacent to the first overwrap ply to form the first platform; g) filling the darted parts of the second overwrap ply with one or more filler plies; and h) placing a cap ply in the shape of the platform adjacent to at least one of the first and second overwrap plies. An airfoil with an integrated platform is also disclosed.
