Create a triangle using 3 popsicle sticks and use hot glue at the corners

Glue 2 popsicle sticks to 2 corners of the triangle

Glue the other triangle to the same popsicle sticks that stick out of the first triangle to create something that looks like a triangular prism

Take 2 popsicle sticks and tie 12 rubber bands in a cross so the trebuchet will have a strong launch.
This one doesn’t have 12 because it was a prototype, but tie 12

Glue the popsicle stick to the final corner but under the triangle

Snap the spoon so only the top part and a little bit are left. Glue the spoon to the top of the popsicle stick that is used for launch
