Ultimate Paper Dart

measure,.jpg
this is the ultimate paper dart hands down. i make these every once in a while and when i do somebody gets hurt. seriously dont aim these at people's face eyes or privates (all you guys out there).

*warning* not to be taken lightly these can and will hurt

i had fun doing this and i hope to hear good comments

What You Need

this is a very simple process all you will need is...

1 piece of paper (2 for extra hardness but 3 pieces wont allow you to bend it finish it)
ability to roll tight a piece of paper
2 hands
1 brain

Now for the Folding

folding is the most important step. this will determine the firmness and shape of the wasp.

The first and most important fold all fold are important so measure twice fold once and sharply crease it

First fold the paper top to bottom. (hamburger style)*pic 1*

Then fold again left to right. *pic 2*

Then fold again top to bottom. *pic 3*

After this is done rotate it to the right. *pic 4*

Now to Roll It

This is the second most important step. (read that again)

This part is crucial DO NOT FOLD ROLLING IS BETTER.

If you have gotten this far congratulations.

Now to roll it as mentioned above.

first take the littlest amount you can of paper and start rolling it. *pic 1*

continue rolling and rolling. *pic 2*

and finish rolling. *pic 3*

dont freak out if it tends to fray around the edges its ok and its easier to start with the neater edge it helps belive me.

Folding

This is by far the easiest part unless you used 2 pieces of paper.

Now just fold it in half. Thats it.

Priming and Firing

To prime the wasp you need to bend the edges and knock it against something. if it makes a noise its a good dart if it doesnt feel hard like the table and tear of any exess edges.

and to fire well there is another instructable on it
