How to make rubber band slingshot darts from scrap paper

This is an easy no-budget toy that will guarantee a stern scolding if played with in a classroom or business meeting. :)

You'll Need:

scrap pieces of paper

rubber bands

paper cups to be used as targets or goals (optional)

Step One To make a dart, fold or roll a strip of paper repeatedly until it's a quarter inch (half a centimeter) wide and two inches (5 cm) long. Bend it in half to form a U shape. Repeat with more paper until you have lots of them.	paper dart with U.S. nickel for scale:
Step Two Take a rubber band and hold it taut between your thumb and index finger. You might try several sizes and thicknesses until you find the best one for your tastes. Some will be too stiff, some will be too springy, some will be too short or too long for the distance between your fingers. Rubber bands also come in a variety of different colors if you have any favorites.	rubber band in position around thumb and finger:
Step Three Wrap the dart around the rubber band with the U-bend pointed away from you. Pull back on its sides with your other hand. Aim at your target. Release to shoot.	how to shoot the dart from the rubber band:

All sorts of games can be devised with a set of darts, rubber bands, and paper cups. You could shoot to knock down cups or get darts into cups, or between two cups as goalposts. Be creative. :)
