*****DISCLAIMER -- THESE DARTS CAN BE DANGEROUS....THEY ARE DARTS!*****

Okay they are darts, they are great for throwing. Please don't throw them at anyone. You will probably hurt them.

They are really easy to make and discrete to use. By discrete, I do not mean that you can sneak up on a friend or enemy, I mean that they will stick into loads of stuff while leaving behind very little evidence. The wall won't be covered in discernible holes.
They are about as accurate as a regular dart-board dart, which is to say as accurate as you are.

Step 1: Stuff you need

You will need to collect a few things.
  • 4 toothpicks (Check the cafeteria)
  • 1 business card
  • a sheet of paper (for the dartboard)
  • a needle and thread (ask around, one of your coworkers might have a small sewing kit on their person)
  • a small piece of tape (not required...helpful)
Alternatively you could substitute out just about all the parts. A sharped length of paperclip instead of a pin, matchsticks, tape....but I will show you my technique. It works well, and the darts have a ninja appeal.

the gaps between the toothpicks could also store poison for hunting

For a much easier way of making the fins you can use a post-it note, because they are square and fold easier than business cards.

but they are softer so deform when thrown so are less accurate
