Here is a easy way of making darts I made up for my blowgun but you could use a straw too.
You need plastic q-tips and the rounded tooth picks not the flat sided ones.
Depending on how you make this you can make 2 darts with one toothpick and one q-tip
1. 1.cut the plastic q-tip in half near the middle it will only work if its hollow. MAKE SURE YOU DON’T TAKE THE COTTON OFF!
2. 2.snap the tooth pick in half near the middle.
3. 3.peel a bit of the toothpick at the point where its been snapped. this is optional and I do this. It will help it fit into the q-tip.
4. 4.push the tooth pick(the side that’s been snapped) into the hole where the q-tip has been cut so it now looks like a dart
5. 5.fluff the cotton on the end and you got easy darts!
This is good cause its cheap, easy to make, they will go far and don’t flip, and it’ll hurt and you can make mass amounts. You can put needles and paper clips instead of toothpicks if you want.but i like toothpicks best
