How to Make a Ninja Star

In this instructable i will be showing you how to make a ninja star or shruiken out of some basic materials without using any power tools.This ninja star is dangerous if used irresponsibly; please do not blame me for any damage caused:)

For this instructable you will need some nails(ranging from 2.5" to 4.5"), hot glue or a glue gun, and synthetic wool, string or thin paracord.

Take two nails the same length and put them as shown on a hard surface.

Take one of the nails and put a small drop of hot glue on the head.

Fix the two nails together at the heads.

Take a third nail of the same length, put a bit of glue on the head and stick it at right angles to the other two.

Then put another one on top to make a cross. I do not have a picture of this.

When the glue has hardened, fixing the first four nails in place, take a slightly longer nail and glue it in the gap between, as shown.

Do the same thing on the other three sides, using a bit more glue than necessary for extra strength.

To make it more secure, add a thick layer of glue to cover all the heads of the nails, as shown.

Once the whole thing has dried, take a long nail, insert it under the base of the star and gently remove it from the surface.

Turn it upside-down and add extra glue like before.

Take the wool or whatever you are using and stick it to the middle of the star as shown.

After you have wrapped about 5 meters of wool evenly round the middle of the star, glue the end of the wool down and you are finished!

This is it with all my other shruikens, I hope you liked this tutorial:)
