make Bolas

Have you ever read "Mattimeo" and wanted to have bolas just like Slagar the Cruel and attack your enemies? Well this guide shows you how to make it from household items! Read on!

Things You'll Need

• Three medium-sized strings.
• Three stones
• Paper
• Paper towels
• Scissors
• Tape
• An enemy

Steps

 1.) Gather the materials from "Things You'll Need" with the exception of an enemy.

 2.) Cut the towel into three even squares, preferably 3 by 3 inches.

 3.) Place a stone in the middle of each of the squares.

 4.) Tape a string to each of the stones.

5.) Wrap the towel square around the stone and tape it shut, with the string coming out on one side.

6.) Gather the three stones/string/paper and put them aside.

 7.) Cut the paper into a rectangle that's about 10 by 6 inches or as long as you want.

8.) Take the paper and make sure that the long side is on the bottom (length).

9.) Tape the strings of each of the stones about a few inches from each other.

10.) Wrap the paper into a cylinder and tape it shut. You may want to tape the ends shut.

 11.) Test it on an enemy and hope (s)he doesn't die.

 12.) If it works, you may want to make more (these are cheap, disposable ones and outcome may depend on the quality of the materials).

Tips

• Most professional bolas are made from special bola-ish items. If you're that crazy about bolas, try buying one instead of making your own. They might work better.
• Try to find light and medium-sized stones that won't snap the strings when you swing them.

Warnings

• As with all weapons, use with caution-they might seriously hurt/break someone/something.
• If you are in a wilderness survival situation, this is a fast and easy weapon to make, but spend your energy on finding food, and shelter, if you have had no prior training with these, they require more skill than one might think.
