Step 5: Finishing the framework of the catapult

Okay now this step is one of the hardest steps if you are making the temporary version as its hard to hold the clothespin in place!

First you will need to open the clothespin with pliers or scissors I used both and opened the clothespin, after opening it you will need to throw away the metal spring in the middle and then take one half of the clothespin and attach it inbetween the framework made in steps 3 and 4, using rubber bands will be a little hard but we can do it!

* Keep in mind that this step needs to be very sturdy as this will hold the flickering mechanism up!
* Keep the other half of the clothespin as we will be needing that later!

The first few pictures show you the temporary version and the last few pictures show you the permanent version.
