Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cut the PVC pipe into a Y-shape: Use the utility knife to cut a section of about 12 inches for the handle and two 6-inch sections for the arms.
2. Smooth the cut edges: If needed, use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges on the cuts to avoid injury.
3. Attach the arms: Using the rubber bands, secure the two 6-inch sections onto the top of the handle, forming a Y-shape. Make sure they are tightly secured.
4. Create the pouch: Cut a piece of leather or fabric into a small rectangle (about 3 inches by 2 inches).
5. Attach the pouch: Use the rubber bands to secure the pouch to the ends of the arms. Make sure it is centered and evenly attached.
6. Test your slingshot: Once everything is secured, pull back the pouch and load it with a small projectile (like a marble) to test your slingshot. Ensure that everything is secure before use.
