Before and after!
You will need:
-Rubber Band Crossbow - you can get one at a toy store
-Wood stain - any color will work but I like dark colors so I went with a dark mahogany.
-Air brush and paints - I went with dark blue, dark purple, black, and silver

To start off your going to take the PVC pipe out and paint it any color, I went with black.
Then you are going to want to stain your cross bow with your color of choice. Let it dry and add a second cote!
After that drys decide what colors you want and what style you would like. I used purple, blue and silver and I decided I wanted a skull and barbed wire on mine.
Then I made some stencils, you can make your own or print some out.
Taking my air brush I added the color! Silver skull and blue barbed wire.
I also added purple and blue gradient on the black of the PVC pipe.
Now let all of that dry and after it is dry you will need to put a finishing spray on so it lasts longer.
Then put the PVC pipe back in and add the string. AND BAM! customized rubber band cross bow! =^.^=
