How to Make Paper Wasps

Hey! I'm the Junk Drawer Gunsmith! Today I'll show you how to make paper hornets from back in the day. My stepdad remembers these from when he was in school!

Supplies

This one's actually pretty simple. All you need is a Post-It note (any square paper will do, though) and a rubber band.

Fold It in Half

Fold the Post-It note in half up to the sticky part. TIP: If you want it to hurt more when shot, roll the paper into a thin tube instead of folding and skip Step 2. Now it is called a Hornet.

Fold It in Half Again Twice

Fold it up again twice (or more if possible) so it looks like this.

Fold It Into a V

Fold it again, except this time in the center so it makes a V shape.

Done!

And it's easy as that! Now grab the rubber band and loop it around your thumb and index as shown, pinch down on your wasp/hornet, pull back, and you're now the most feared among your friends.
