Miniature Crossbow

How to make a miniature crossbow

What you'll need:
-4 pencils
-2 pen caps
-1 binder clip
-Tape (masking or duct)
-6 rubber bands

Steps:

Tape the pencils together in pairs.

Attach the two pairs of pencils together using a rubber band. The horizontal pair should be about 1-2 inches from the end of the vertical one.

Cut the 5 remaining rubber bands. 

Put the rubber bands through the binder clip.

Put the ends of the rubber bands into the pen caps (you'll have to hold them there for now).

Put the pen caps (with the rubber bands in them) on the ends of the pencils.

(Optional) Fold two pieces of tape at the center of the strips and attach them to the vertical pair of pencils. This will make it easier to shoot.


Congratulations! You have completed your miniature crossbow! You can use pencils, pens, or markers to attack others from a distance. Pull the binder clip and release to shoot.
