The Idea
It started off as a little paper thing shaped like a fin. Then it went to a shortened wooden skewer with a fin attached. Then it went to a dart with a bit more weight. Then, it went to a dart with a needle. I dreamed this little dart up at my desk and since then I’ve made 6.
Materials
-Cyanoacrylate super glue(must be liquid)
-Scissors
-Tape
-2x8 inch strip of crepe paper
-3.5x3.5 square piece of paper
-A wooden skewer that is about 13.5 cm long
-Sewing needle
How to
First gather up all of your materials

Take your square of paper and fold it Diagonally in both ways and straight in both ways.

Now fold it together to make a "fin" and then tape the sides together.

Now super glue the "fins" to the skewer

Now simply roll up the crepe paper and tape it(Don’t roll it too tight!).

Take the super glue and almost literally cover the entire skewer with the super glue. Stick the skewer through and slide it to the fins. (Note: It may be difficult to get it through, so you can also just roll it on the stick directly)

Now you already have a decent, harmless dart. Now take you sewing needle and break it in to about a 1 1/2 cm length.

Now this part is the hardest. Take a 1 inch strip of tape and place the needle sticking out on either side of the tape. Now roll it around the tip of the skewer, so the needle is right where you want it. Now once it is in place, take your super glue and put about 10 drops in that basic area inside the inversed funnel the tape has created. Let it sit and then touch the needle slightly to see if it is in place. If it does not budge and feels solid, you’re done.

A demonstration
These two holes in the wall were made with very little force.

Troubleshooting
Q. My dart isn’t flying far enoguh and it kinda just flops around.
A. Distibute weight more evenly and/or add or remove crepe paper.
Q. The needle won’t hold
A. Try again dumbass. It worked for me, it should work for you.
Q. I’ve made holes in the walls! It’s too much fun!
A. Mix 60% potassium nitrate with 40% magnesium dust and but in a ziploc baggy. Tape to your dart. Add a fuse to baggy. Light fuse. Run away. Watch. Now you will not have any holes in the wall anymore.
Q. Ok, I did that, but I still have holes.
A. I finmd taking the same color of paint mixed with a small amount of water and just painting over with a semi-large art brush will create a "film" of paint over it and hide the holes.

Feb 14, 2006 12:05 pm - Kind of hard to understand but original idea 4*
Feb 14, 2006 1:00 pm - How do you do that "click here to enlarge" thing with your photos? That seems like a handy trick. Message me and tell me how to do that and I’ll rate your other four eggs with fives. I gave this one a four. (And I tried to message you but you can’t receive messages from non friends...)

Feb 14, 2006 5:27 pm - To do the thing with the click to enlarge I used "Powertoys for Windows XP"(can be downloaded on imageshack) and all you do is right click the image and select resize. I resized it to 640x480 and then I hosted it on imageshack.
