To create this unique toy, you will require 8 lollipop sticks, 2 nails (1 inch or 3/4 inch), a skewer halved, and an elastic band. Begin by drilling holes of the same size as the nail and skewer at both ends for six lollipop sticks, known as structure sticks, and at one end and center for two other lollipop sticks, referred to as firing sticks. Next, insert the nails through the holes on the structure sticks' ends and glue them in place. Then, attach a firing stick onto each nail's hole at the end. Repeat this process with a structure stick on the back nail. Glue the skewer onto the front end of the structure stick (it may require trimming). Attach the remaining structure sticks to both nails using glue. Finally, secure the elastic band to the ends of the firing sticks. If it doesn't work, review your steps or reach out for assistance.
