You can shoot from such a mini crossbow with barbecue skewers or (as in my case) with a rod from the handle.
For this we need:
4 ice cream sticks
2 rubber bands
paper holder
and paper tubes.
From the tools we need:
stationery knife
and glue gun.
First you need to glue the sticks as shown in the photo:
Now take another ice cream stick and cut off the tip as evenly as possible
And glue to our design, like this:
Then, glue another ice cream stick to the bottom of our design:
Next, we make cuts on the top of our structure:
And we put on our elastic bands, like this:
Now we need to glue the paper holder to our design (we will use it as a “trigger” for our crossbow), to the distance where our gum reaches, but not too far, it’s better to glue a little closer than the further:
Take a paper tube and cut a piece, about 1.5 cm. In length:
Move the gum and hold it with our trigger
And glue the tube:
And so we got such a cool mini crossbow!
Here is a test video:
