How to make a crossbow from paper?

No, perhaps, another equally surprising in its universality material for creativity, like ordinary paper. Under the skilful hands of a sheet of office paper, everything that only your heart desires - a picture , an odd thing, and even a model of a crossbow, can appear. Yes, not simple, but very much even acting. As a normal office paper with their own hands to make a crossbow and will be a speech in our master class.

MK Crossbow of paper

1. We begin the construction of a crossbow with bowstring. For her, take three thin gum.
2. We will pass one elastic band through another, tightly tightening the formed knot.
3. The same will be repeated with the third elastic band, thus forming a chain of 23-25 ​​cm in length.
4. Take a sheet of usual office paper A4 size and roll it into a tube along the long side.
5. The end of the tube is fixed with an adhesive tape.
6. Similarly, we fix the second end of the tube, paying attention to the fact that it does not untwist.
7. In the same way, we'll fold a few more paper tubes.
8. The ends of these tubes are also securely fixed with adhesive tape.
9. One of the tubes is cut into two equal parts.
10. We connect the two tubes together at a right angle, placing one at the center of the other.
11. We will strengthen the horizontal tube-base, having attached to it one more.
12. We will not regret the adhesive tape and securely fix the whole structure together.
13. We take a tube cut into two parts.
14. We will attach one of its halves at an angle to the transverse bar, so that it forms an emphasis.
15. The second half of the tube is also exactly attached to the transverse strip on the other side.
16. We fold one more tube.
17. We separate from it a segment equal to 1/3 of its length.
18. We fasten this segment to the crossbow so that it reaches the point of intersection of the vertical tube with the lateral stops. The remaining length of the tube is tied to a vertical support at a right angle, forming a handle.
19. We fasten one more paper tube at a right angle in the upper part of the crossbow.
20. String the string, fixing it at both ends of the crossbeam.
21. The middle part of the bowstring is strengthened with several layers of scotch tape.
22. The role of the trigger mechanism will be played by the usual clothespin.
23. We fasten the clothespin to the crossbow so that it can open freely.
24. We insert a pencil arrow into the crossbow.
25. String the string and fix its middle in the trigger mechanism.
26. We bring the crossbow into action, by pressing the trigger-pin.
27. Finally, a crossbow made of paper looks like this.
