for this project I’m going to show you
how to defend yourself on the stick bomb
battlefield by making a homemade arsenal
of spring-loaded stick bombs and
throwing stars that explode on impact
start this project with a handful of
popsicle sticks or craft sticks like
these I found mine in packs of 100 at a
local dollar store and one pack is
usually enough to make over 20 exploding
stick bombs now let’s get down on the
carpet because the sponginess of the rug
will make it much easier to mass-produce
our mini weapons and to start let’s kick
off production with the boomerang bomb
it only uses four sticks and it’s one of
the easiest throwing stars to make start
play overlapping two sticks on one end
so they form an arrow pointing to the
left with yellow stick on the top side
now place the red stick on top of these
two so the bottom lines up with the
green stick and the top intersects with
the middle of the yellow to bind them
together hold the sticks firmly together
where the yellow and red sticks meet the
green then push the tip of the orange
stick under the middle of the green one
and lock the other end under the yellow
stick that’s how quick and easy it is to
make the boomerang bomb and now if you
throw it at a hard surface like a wall
or a refrigerator the sticks will
explode on impact now check this out
with a fairly simple transformation and
one extra stick we can easily convert
the boomerang bomb into a five-point
throwing star hold the boomerang with
both hands at the bottom and carefully
push the points together in a way that
makes the orange and blue sticks jut out
on either side now you should be able to
take the red stick and push one end
under the orange piece then bend it over
and lock it underneath the blue with a
bit of careful tweaking you’ll have a
great-looking 5-point throwing star that
will give a satisfying spring-loaded
burst of energy when it connects with
your target next up is the butterfly
bomb and for this one we need five
sticks start by crossing two yellow
sticks to form an X then drop a green
stick in the center so it crosses
through the middle horizontally use your
thumb to hold them down so you can slide
the end of a red stick under one of the
yellow ones bending it over the green
stick and locking it into place under
the yellow stick on the other side now
use your thumb and finger to hold this
side together so it doesn’t spring apart
then take the other red stick and lock
it into place on the other side the same
way you did before the tension will hold
it together and that’s how you make the
butterfly bomb
the hand grenade also uses five sticks
but in a completely different way place
the yellow stick in the center and
overlap the two purple sticks so they
diverge away from each other but meet
together at the top hold all the sticks
together with your thumb so you can
wedge one of the red sticks so it’s
under the yellow but on top of the two
purple sticks then grab the other red
stick and weave it the opposite way so
it goes under the purple sticks and over
the yellow this will lock it together
and the hand grenade is done these are
one of my favorite stick bombs to make
because they hold together really well
and one of the most volatile when they
go off the 4-square is another quick and
easy build and uses six sticks set the
two blue sticks side by sides they’re
parallel to each other then set two
green sticks perpendicular to the ends
so the whole thing makes a square the
orange stick goes on top so it overlaps
the center of the green ones and now the
yellow stick needs to slide under the
middle portion of the blue one on the
side hold the yellow stick firmly in
place you can pull the other blue stick
to the side and carefully weave it over
the tip of the yellow stick locking it
back into place under the green the four
square is done and despite its humble
look it’ll still blow to pieces just
like all the others now quick and cool
variation of the four square is the
flying fish simply slide two of the
edges on the square to each other then
turn it 90 degrees and do the same thing
with the other two edges to finish up
gently push two opposite corners
together and it will compress the square
into a flat diamond shape now it has the
look of an exotic fish and should make a
nice addition to your collection the
hardest stick bomb to make is a six
pointed throwing star and you’ll need
six sticks if you’re up for the
challenge lay the blue stick down first
then place the red and yellow sticks in
a V pattern overlapping it in the middle
by about an inch and with the yellow
stick on top now take the orange stick
and push one end under the blue tip and
angle it toward the center do the same
thing on the other side with the green
stick and place the tip so it’s
overlapped in the orange one at the top
now grab the purple stick and hold
everything in place with one hand while
pushing the purple stick under the tip
of the red one bend it over the green
and orange tips then lock it together
underneath the yellow stick it probably
won’t look very pretty at first but if
you carefully tweak the stick so the
tips line up you’ll end up with a really
cool-looking six pointed throwing star
like this these are the hardest ones to
make so if you’re able to build these
you’ll be a master on the stick bomb
battlefield
well now you know how to use a handful
of popsicle sticks to create an arsenal
of exploding throwing stars
whether it’s just for fun or for
defending your empire in popsicle stick
warfare by the way I use six sticks to
build a bonus bomb but I won’t show you
how to make it instead let’s see if you
can figure out how to do it on your own
and if you find that regular popsicle
sticks are too hard to work with
try using jumbo craft sticks or tongue
depressors instead they’re actually a
lot easier to use might be more
intimidating your enemies as well well
that’s it for now if you liked this
