Throw me a Knife

Being the expert knife thrower I am I came across this heel and thought this is exactly how my victim, umm I mean assistant, would look after I showed my circus skills to the crowd.

I guess it is a good thing my knives are made of cardboard so no one will lose their limbs. Cardboard knives you say? Well you can't give children real knives to throw or they may end up like my assistant. Thus the genius idea of cardboard and a knife throwing game at the carnival birthday.

For this game all you need is cardboard, cardboard, and yes more cardboard. What I did first was draw and cut out the shapes of the throwing knives, which resembled a cleaver and a dagger. If you use thicker cardboard you only need to cut out the shape once. However, in my case I used thinner cardboard (easier to cut) and glued 3 piece together. I let them dry overnight and I then used mod podge to apply the shiny silver tissue paper to give the knives more of a real feel, but you can easily use any decorative paper to also achieve this look. I think they came genuine and the <insert title here> had fun test throwing them for me.

I am planning on using a hula hoop with a bullseye in the middle for the target board. Since the knives are a good size the children will not need to try to aim too hard to win the game. If you are in need of a limb you can get your heels here Iron Fist Glamour Guts Platform Heels ♥
