Take five rubber bands and tie them together like so in the video below, after that attach the two outer rubber bands on each side to your tree branch.

Foam Rectangle

Take a foam rectangle and fold it over on itself in the middle of the second rubber band then glue the other end this rectangle will now work to hold your ammo.

Add the Grip

Take your yarn and wrap it around the bottom part of your tree branch however you like.

enjoy your slingshot :)
