It might be cool to put it on a paper airplane.

I'm still trying to figure out why anybody would want a stationary dart.  Aren't darts SUPPOSED to move?

[peyton14]

it made out of paper

 Sorry, spelling isn't a strong point of mine

We create these wonderful darts - great fun is being had...

We did come up with a different fold that seems to be more aerodynamics... take a look...

[samaside]

Many of these adorn the cork board behind our desk at work now!

[nmstoker]

These look great - we used to make something similar at school using drawing pins and BluTack - with enough mass of BluTack behind the drawing pin and the tail fins sufficiently far back, they could be thrown hard enough to embed in the walls! Amazingly I don't recall us embedding them in each other!

made some at the office a month ago ...we printed out a dart board and ...you see were i'm getting :D

but in my design i use only 3 paper clips

[Crushinator]

That's awesome lol

Hey on step 2 before you but the paper clips around the the Tact's. I found lining up the paperclips on a piece of tape then rapping them around the the thumb-tack alot easier.

[logghi]

Awsome idea ^^

[spiritwolf7984]

I love these Make sure the Tac's are sharp though Or they can't even go through Cardboard D: I made 2 useill dull tacs

what's the point of stationary darts, if their stationary, you cant throw them because that would cause them to be not stationary...

[logghi]

 sorry, shall I change it for you? I just can't spell is all... 

[dashi]

Oh whoops, I didn't see that another guy said exactly what I said before me... And no, do not change it for me, change it for all those misled people who will remain confused until their sands of time fall through.

[logghi]

 Nah it's fine, so what is the corect spelling?

[dashi]

Stationery. (spelt wit an E)

[logghi]

Thanks, I shall correct it now :)

[z3ds]

I just saw these on thereifixedit.com the other day!

[techturtle]

LOL, I saw them there too.  I tried to make them yesterday just from memory and gave up.  Seeing this, I'll have to try again!

[logghi]

 I know, I saw them too! I decided to make them, and they worked very well, I thought I'd share for all those who wer'nt aware of them :)
