Life Size Angry Birds

Here’s an idea inspired by the crazy-popular Angry Birds…  I thought we came up with something pretty clever, but come to find out…lots of people have done it!

IMG_20120504_185455I simply used 4 inch PVC sewer pipe a couple of caps, a couple of elbows and a “T” then spray-painted it brown.

(Here’s a link to a review on the slingshot)

The slingshot is now traveling from party to party…
