firt egg woot.Ok so I have seen some eggs on how to make eraser throwing darts but I have noticed a few problems. One that the fins don’t stay closed in flight causing more air resistance. Two that if the dart hits the needle goes into the eraser a little bit so some of your throwing force gets absorbed and the full impact doesn’t reach the target. So im gonna show you how to make a dart and a simple yet effective way that you can fix these problems IN SCHOOL.
These are the materials you need. They can be found in your art class and sewing class. Well not the knive, just use scissors. Just use the inside of a glue stick for the wax I only used it because I couldn’t find a gluestick
First, you want to fold you paper into a triangle about 8 lines up a normal piece of tablet paper
Second, cut out the triangle. It should look like this.
Third, open it up and fold it the other way and you’ll get this
Fourth, grab the center of the two side triangles and start to bring them together. And you’ll get this P.S I found the scissors =D
Do the same thing on the opposite side and you’ll get this.
Then, line up the materials like this.
After that put the needle through the center of the wings like this.
And push the needle through the center of the eraser like this.
Then take you glue stick and take off a small piece like this.
This is the trick to improve it. Put it in the wings like this also put some on the head of the needle to prevent the needle from sliding back on impact.
You should get this after you close it
Also rub some glue stick stuff on the wings and it should look like this
Now you have made a slightly improved eraser dart also wait bout 3mins for glue to drie. and I will be posting some urban exploring eggs soon

It reminds me of some of the older eggs I’ve seen from years ago.
You get five stars for the pics, decent grammar, and innovative idea.
