How to make slingshots with rubber bands

There are a number of rubber bands for tools/raw materials, about 50, and one iron bar is relatively hard, with a diameter of about 3 mm (if there is no suitable iron bar, Y-shaped wooden branches can also be used as slingshot brackets). You can cut a small piece of cowhide and pigskin from old leather shoes. Steps/methods 1 Making a slingshot bracket: If you have a wooden slingshot bracket, cut a piece of steel wire with two vises and twist it into the following figure:

2 Cut a piece of cowhide into the following figure: the specific size is about hip circumference 1.5-2.00 cm, and two small holes are cut on both sides to pass through the rubber band.

First put the rubber band into the two small holes of the slingshot bag, then take it out and connect the remaining rubber band to the rubber band on it bit by bit. One ring is buckled, and the last ring is connected to the slingshot bracket. If it is made of steel wire, put it directly into the ear holes on both sides, and then tighten the opening of the ear holes with a vise. If it is a wooden slingshot frame, wrap the rubber band with cloth, wrap it with thread, and tie it at both ends of the wooden frame to form a slingshot.
