TO COMPLETE
WHAT WILL YOU MAKE?
PRINT THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT WILL YOU NEED?
- 8"-10" PVC pipe (1/2" thick)
- Pool noodle or other thick piece of foam
- Bamboo Skewer
- Hot Glue
- Tape
- X-acto knife or scissors
STEP 1
Cut Your Foam
- Firmly press the PVC pipe into the foam.
- Make a core by cutting around the indentation that you made in the foam. Check to see if it fits inside the pipe.
- If it doesn’t fit, then use the scissors or X-acto knife to trim it, but don’t trim the core too much because it must create a seal inside of the pipe
STEP 2
Build the Slider
- Cut off the sharp tip of the bamboo skewer to dull it.
- Add a drop of hot glue to the tip of the skewer and insert it into the bottom of the foam core.
- Reinforce the slider by taping the bottom edge of the foam core to the skewer.
