Simple Blowgun


To make this blowgun you will need:
1 section of 1/2" pvc pipe (at least 2 1/2 feet long)
1 (1/2") slip adapter
1 roll decorative duct tape (optional)
1 roll electrical tape

Directions:
First you take your piece of pvc and cut a 2 1/2 foot piece. Then add your slip adapter for mouthpiece. Now you have a super simple blowgun. But lets take it to the next level and add a custom wrap. I picked up a roll of camo duct tape and wrapped mine long ways. Then I wrapped both ends with electrical tape. You will get to see how to make attachments in another project.

With a blowgun you have to have ammo here's the supplies:
1 cone party hat
1 pack of sticky notes
1 pack of #17 wire nails (optional)
 Hot glue gun and glue sticks or poster putty
1 roll of clear tape

Directions for ammo:
Take sticky note and wrap it around tip of party hat and make cone with sticky note. Hold it together with tape. Then take cone and roll it around in the end of pvc pipe till there is a notch. Cut on the line, now you have a little paper dart so now you can stick the nail in the end of the dart and pull it till it catches.Then put hot glue in and let it dry upright. Or if you want non-lethal ammo you can not put in the nails and they fly straight and accurate. If you want even softer ammo use small marshmallows they are fun for friends and family.
