Here’s how they did it (in Christopher’s words):

1.  You need 1/2 inch PVC pipe, 2 elbows, 1 T, and 1 cap.IMG_9007

2.  Tools:  Pipe cutter or some way of cutting the pipe, tape measure, and a pencil.IMG_9008

3.  Measure four 4-inch pieces of pipe and one 7-inch piece of pipe.IMG_9009

4.  Cut the pipe at your marks.IMG_9010

5.  Put a 4-inch pipe into the bottom of the T.  Cap it.   Put a 4-inch pipe into one side of the T.IMG_9014

6.  Put an elbow on the end of this 4-inch pipe.  Put another 4-inch pipe in the other side of this elbow.IMG_9015

7.  Put the last 4-inch piece into this elbow.  This is your mouth piece.IMG_9016

8.   Put the 7-inch piece in the other side of the T.  This is your barrel where you load your marshmallow.

9.  Push it together tightly or glue it.

10.  Spray paint it.
