Ok, how many times have you guys seen that "mini blowgun" egg and then try it and then it just plain sucks. That Q-tip dart really blows chunks. I will show you how to make a better more accurate and more fun dart that will blow you away! Its just as easy to make as the dumbass q-tip thingie.
Her what you need:
-Mini Blowgun!: Make it out of a common Bic Pen by taking out the ink cartridge and the back plug.
-1 inch long pins or needles. Make sure they are one inch long. Too long and the dart wont fly too good.
-Paper: Regular paper
-Glue: Hot Glue gun or super glue.
Direct you can find great directions for the same kind of dart at this website: http://www.doin EGGMAIL ME IF YOU WANT THE WEBSITE!)
Grab the piece of paper and make it into a cone. Make sure the end of the cone is pointed. Take the end of the cone and stick it into one of the ends of the blowgun and mark off how far it when in. Then cut that part off the cone so now you have a mini cone. Take the pin/needle and and stick it through the back of the cone followed by going all the way through the pointed end. It should now look like this:
>---
now glue the point where the pin exits the cone and also behind that point inside the cone. Let the glue try and now you are ready to shoot. Your cone on the dart may be too big and if it is then just snip a little off to cut a nice clean fit. You dont want the dart too loose in the blowgun and you also dont want it too tight. This dart will fly over 30 feet with a high amount of speed and accuracy. It sticks into walls with ease. I find it helpful to cover the hole on the blowgun that im about to blow through with my tongue and the quickly blow in a sort of spitting motion while releasing your tongue from the gun. It works alot better.
