Marshmallow Shooter From PVC Pipe.
This a large Marshmallow Shooter, it is 33” long and is made out of one PVC pipe and a few PVC joint pieces. The Marshmallows are added to the end and you blow them out through the top pipe. This can easily be adjusted to make smaller versions of the marshmallow shooter. There are several ways to configure this and it can be painted to make it look more commercial. This version uses roughly 4 ft of pvc pipe, 2 elbows, 1 t-joint, and one pvc cap.
Supplies
PVC pipe pieces: one of each size 17”, 15”, 4.5”, 9.5”, 3”
1 PVC cap
1 PVC t-joint
2 PVC elbows
mini marshmallows
Step 1: Obtain and Cut Parts
The cheapest way to buy the PVC pipe is in a large section. However, you will need to cut the pieces. There are a few ways to cut the pieces:
1. Have the sizes and cut there in the store (they will let you cut parts to size with their equipment which is right by the pipes).
2. Have a pipe cutter or handsaw to cut the pieces at home.
For this size (which is a large marshmallow shooter) you will want to cut into 1 (17" piece), 1 (15" piece), 1 (9.5" piece), 1 (4.5" piece), and 1 (3" piece). These do not have to be exactly this size look at the design and decide for yourself how long you would like your shooter to be.
Step 2: Assembly
See image for assembly. You are going to take the 17" PVC pipe and put into the T-Joint. Directly across the 17" section you will add the 9.5" section into the other end of the T-Joint; on the other end of the 9.5" pipe add an elbow. On the other end of the elbow add the 3" section and a cap on the end. On the top of the T-Joint add the 4.5" section and another elbow on the other end. Finally, add the 15" section to the other side of the elbow.
Step 3: Add Marshmallows and Have Fun :)
Add a mini marshmallow to the open end of the 17" PVC pipe piece. (If you leave them out of the bag for a day they will be harder and will fly farther. Additionally the further back, closest to the T-Joint, the marshmallows will go much farther.) Blow into the top open 15" section. Have fun with your Marshmallow Shooter.
