in this step you finally gonna have the slingshot itself (but you are not done!).

you gonna need the top part of the bottle you just cut in step one, the rubber band and the piece of the balloon.

use the rubber to attach the balloon to the smaller part of the bottle instead of the cap (make sure you took the cap off first and put the cap in the bigger part of the bottle).
