A, material preparation:
Disposable chopsticks: choose hard disposable chopsticks, usually chopsticks with plastic packaging are stronger.
Rubber band: used to make the elastic part of the bow.
Thin thread or nylon rope: used to make arrows.
Second, the production steps:
1, making bows:
Chopsticks preparation: Take out disposable chopsticks and peel off the plastic packaging at both ends of chopsticks to make them smooth.
Bend chopsticks: bend a chopstick into the shape of a bow. Turn both ends towards yourself and bend outward slowly and forcefully, so that the middle of chopsticks presents the shape of a bow.
Rubber band fixing: a rubber band is fixed at both ends of chopsticks and wound around both ends of chopsticks to make it an elastic part of the bow.
2, making arrows:
Preparation of arrow shaft: prepare a thin thread or nylon rope as the shaft of the arrow, which is about half the length of the chopstick bow.
Arrow making: Make an arrow at one end of the shaft. You can make a small arrow from paper or other materials and fix it on the shaft with glue or tape.
Feather making: Fix some small feathers or pieces of paper at the other end of the shaft to increase the stability of the arrow.
Third, matters needing attention:
Safety note: Pay attention to safety when making chopsticks to avoid injury when bending chopsticks.
Usage environment: Because the arrow is a model, it is not suitable for actual shooting. Please be careful not to hurt yourself or others when playing.
Fourth, the conclusion:
Making disposable chopsticks bows and arrows is a simple and interesting manual project, which can be used to show your creativity and hands-on ability. Although it is only a model, the process of making it is full of fun. When making disposable chopsticks bows and arrows, make sure that the chopsticks are strong enough and will not break. For the arrow part, you can try to use lightweight materials to increase the flight stability of the arrow. Remember to be safe while playing. Don't shoot arrows at people or animals to avoid accidental injuries.
