DIY Marshmallow Shooter


I’m going to let you in on a little secret before you start this project. You can not make just one of these. You might think one is enough, but trust me, you’ll need at least two and preferably one for every single person you know. Over the top fun to play with, these marshmallow shooters are easy to personalize thanks to washi tape so it’s easy to keep track of which one belongs to who. And they look pretty darn awesome too!

Time required: 25 minutes
Difficulty level: moderate to difficult (but worth it!)

Things you’ll need:
About two feet of 1/2 inch PVC pipe
1/2″ T joint
1/2″ end cap
(2) 1/2 L joints
Hack saw
Measuring tape
Marker
Washi tape, 1 color or pattern per shooter
Mini marshmallows

Things to do:
1. Mark your pipe. Lengths don’t have to be exact, but you’ll want 3 pieces to be approximately 6 inches long and two pieces at 3 inches.
2. Using your hack saw, cut the pipe carefully at each mark, trying to make the cut as smooth and straight as possible.

3. Wrap washi tape in several places around the straight pieces of pipe.

4. Push two of the long pieces into perpendicular holes on the T joint.
5. Attach the cap onto the long piece that points down on the T joint.
6. Push one short piece into the other end of the T joint and attach an L joint on it’s other end.
7. Attach the other short piece to the L joint and add the other L joint to the open end.
8. Finish by attaching the final long piece of tube to the open end of the L joint.
9. Insert a mini marshmallow into the long high end and blow a short puff into the other end to send the marshmallow flying!
