If you have a son you will totally understand this post. My 2 boys have been asking for a marshmallow shooter. Last year at our local fair they sold them but the price was crazy so when our family planned to go to the fair this year our boys had saved their money and decided to purchase one but my husband surprised them and came home with all the supplies from the hardware store and made him each of the boys each their own marshmallow shooter.
Supplies:
Qty 5 of 3" of 1/2" pvc pipe
Qty 1 of 7" of 1/2" pvc pipe
2 T shape 1/2" pvc pipe
2 L shape 1/2" pvc pipe
2 end pieces of 1/2" pvc pipe
Measuring tape
Pipe cutter
Small marshmallows
Step 1 - cut the PVC pipe into a Qty 5 of 3" of 1/2" pvc pipe and then qty 1 of 7" 1/2" pvc pipe.
Step 2 start putting the marshmallow shooter together by adding the L and end cap to the (2) 3" pieces.
Step 3 Then add your T shape and 2 other 3" pieces of pvc.
Step 4 then add the 7" piece which is the barrel where you shoot the marshmallows from.
The top very top piece is where you blow the marshmallows out of. Easily comes apart for cleaning. My husband only paid a few dollars for all the piping. This is harmless fun for our boys, we do not allow them to aim the shooter at anyone, they play with their shooters inside only.

This is too cool! My little guy would love this, but he definitely WOULD aim it at someone (me) and would also probably fashion darts out of something, LOL.
ReplyDeleteJDaniel would love to have one of these.
ReplyDeleteMy boys kids and husband would all have fun making and playing with this.
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories. We used to make these with the kids...so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI have seen these before and my kids would die to have one, good thing they are not over my shoulder now:O
ReplyDeleteWe made these for our kids 2 years ago for Christmas. The kids love them like crazy! And even dads get involved in the action! They are a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious :) Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love it, and I know they do too!
ReplyDeleteI've seen these at a friend's house and wondered how they were put together. They are much easier than I thought! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun! My 5 year old would love it!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have to admit when I saw the title of this post, my thought was "Ooh, that sounds tasty!" I didn't even think of something that *shoots* marshmallows! Looks like fun, though! But now I'm wondering if it's possible to hollow out a marshmallow to turn it into a shot glass. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy boys would LOVE this!! One will shoot the brother while the other eats the marshmallows!! Oh man...
ReplyDeleteMy nephew would love one of these! Thanks for the tutorial!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the simple tutorial. Maybe my boyfriend and I will take on this project and have a marshmallow war. Hehe!
My son would love this. Although he's 18, he's still quite ornery and would have a blast shooting us with mini marshmallows. haha!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! My daughter would love this. Totally awesome!
ReplyDeleteHa!! This looks like so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteive seen these, but never made one...seein this reminds me that i should... so the kids can have war with uncle tom
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, yes, my 12 year old has been asking for a marshmallow shooter (though I'm sure it's just an excuse to eat marshmallows). Thank you for sharing this!

This is so great!! What a great project this would be for my hubby and son to do together or to do with his cub scouts group!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid my Dad made a potato gun, I thought that was the coolest thing in the world watching the potatoes explode! LOL. My Dad is a giant kid. Probably not safe for the real kids though! LOL
