Make a Wooden 4-sided Ninja Star

The materials:
Some sort of string or cord
Small piece of wood (not sure exactly what size, but scaled up to my hand in a pic)

Tools:
Saw
Drill (optional)

How to Cut the "blade" to a Point

It's quite simple. All you need to do is make sure the points are on opposite sides. 

How to Make the Two Sides Face the Right Way

Again, it's really simple. They should be all spinning/facing counter-clockwise when it's thrown (for righties. For lefties, clockwise)

Semi-Optional Step

If you want, you can drill a hole through the sides, which i did, but the more logical thing to do would be to make a clove hitch, frapping, tie it off with another clove hitch. But, again, i made the time-wasting choice and threaded it through the holes i drilled.

Don't Be Stupid

Don't be stupid and throw this at people. This made a legitimate hole in my garage and would really hurt to be thrown at in the face. I'm not responsible for any injuries. Please, don't be stupid.
