Those two at the top jut out half way over the sticks underneath. Now cut a popsicle stick into three parts and lay those parts on top just like shown. Then glue down two pieces of cereal box cardboard just as shown. Take two popsicle sticks and lay them side by side like this. The rubber band will go in those open slots on each end. Now wrap those two pencils together like this. These wraps are about 1 inch from the ends. We are going to make the crossbar of this crossbow so take two pencils and wrap extra tape on each end as shown. Just like the one you see in the picture. Take your four pencils and wrap them with masking tape. I will take you through the steps to making them. There are four major components to the mini crossbow: The barrel, the handle, the crossbar and the trigger.
