![]() ![]() Pull back on rubber in a way that your thumb is holding rubber as well as a swab. Take a cotton swab and stick through the holes, which are above from the plus sign. Pull the lower end of the rubber band against the left arm and repeat the same process with the right. Take a wide sturdy rubber band, and place it above the cap and sticks. Make another pair of small holes towards the upward direction (high up on sides). Keep the cap down on the table with its top upward. Underneath the cap, you would see the sticks are making a plus sign. One for left and right side holes, and other for front and backside holes. Take two popsicles sticks and fit it through these holes. These holes should be slightly higher than the previous holes. Get your screwdriver through the front to the back. You will make holes at a 90° angle to the previously made holes. Now make similar kinds of holes from the front using a screwdriver. Make sure all the holes you make should be wide enough to fir a Popsicle stick. There is no hole at the front of the bottle cap. Turn the cap, and you would see that there is a hole on the left and right side of the bottle cap. How to Make a Mini Crossbow - Very Simple - Homemade Toy.

You should also be able to see the flight groove is slightly higher than the limb supports. I chose to glue some fillets on the side for added support and durability. Now, the crossbow starts to come together as the tip of the gun rails are pressed firmly into a dab of hot glue on the inside of the bow.Ībout 30 seconds of steady pressure works well to keep the connection strong as the glue begins to cool. Don't worry about messing up the paint job … it's super easy to touch up make good as new. While you're at it, use a bit of sand paper to lightly round the edges of the barrel to help prevent the bowstring from fraying and breaking. You'll need to cut a very shallow groove for catching the bowstring, so try using a knife to carefully whittle out a small catch in the upper rails, in-line with the front of the pistol grip. To finish the frame, glue the "pistol grip" panels so they overhang slightly at the back. I left a matchstick in the flight channel to ensure I got the spacing right. I dropped the top down a touch, to form a little groove about half a matchstick deep, and it's important this flight channel stays clean, so ensure any excess glue gets removed.Īttach the handle support right behind the spacer, then glue the last rail in place.
