Step-by-Step How To DIY A Ping Pong Ball Launcher

Step 1:

First, take a cardboard paper towel core and seal its one end with duct tape. Make sure that the tape is attached correctly with no leaking space for air to flow.

Step 2:

After the tape is appropriately attached to the cardboard, make a hole at the centre of the tape with a knife or a scissor. Ensure that the hole is not too large or small, as a grill lighter needs to be fixed in that place.

Step 3:

After that, take a grill lighter and fit it in the centre of the tape where there’s a hole. Be careful while doing it (don’t tear the tape).

Step 4:

After that, arrange the lighter appropriately in the tape so that the tape forms a good seal and holds the lighter tight.

Step 5:

When you are done with all these steps, carefully spray with the hair spray into the cardboard tube for a couple of seconds and make sure that you don’t spray too much as it can make the tube wet.

Step 6:

As soon as you are done with the spraying part, insert the ping pong ball into the tube, and the ball size should be the same as that of the tube.

And now after using your energy and time doing such a fantastic thing, its time to enjoy. Now place the launcher on the table and start to play the game.

Step 7:

Hold on to the safety part of the grill lighter and pull the trigger to launch the ball. It can take some time for the fire to be ignited from the lighter, and once the fire it ignited your ping Pong ball will rocket out from the tube.
