Use a hole puncher to punch holes in a sheet of cardstock so the air can flow through the bottom of the fan, then w
wrap the cardstock sheet around the fan and then tape the opposite end of the paper to the nerf gun. I made a mistake in the picture where I had not punched the holes through it and the air wouldn’t flow through it and the bubbles wouldn’t blow. Just read the steps and don’t follow the pictures for this step.

I arranged my wires by taping the power supply on top of the gun, then attached it to one of the wires and attaching the other end of the wire to the roller switch and taped the roller switch to the trigger of the gun then we plugged the other wire from the roller switch to the fan. The arrangements of the littleBits may change depending on your nerf gun model
