Don’t use 1/2″ PVC use 3/4 “instead. We used 1/2 as per directions bought mini marshmallows they didn’t fit.
Luckily I had a bag of dried beans to use that would work.

I’ve been trying to think of what to get my 14 year old brother, something that’s not too expensive, but he’ll like. I think I just found it!! Thanks so much for the idea! 🙂

Hey there,
I made five of these for Christmas “guy” gifts, all ages. They all had a blast (literally ) with these. Even the guys in Home Depot had a laugh when I showed them the plans. My yard is littered with marshmallows, the guys were laughing their head’s off, and the pattern will be passed around I’m sure. Thanks for the fun!!

Hello- I actually made this and for some reason i had trouble with the corners… Hmmm.. Its all well though. I ended up making the end shorter and took off the elbow pieces. Im 24 years old and me and my friends made this for our christmas party and couldnt put it down. We all had a blast and the dogs enjoyed eating our ammo too! 😉

This is fun to play with. Use PVC not the CPVC kind. I built with the 45 degree elbow instead of the 90 degree to minimize marshmallow getting stuck on the down tube. Clean the cut edges of the pipe with medium grade wood sand paper or if you have a metal file, it also works.

IMPORTANT TIP: Wash in soap and water before you let your kids play with it. You can also wipe the PVC pipe with lacquer thinner to remove paint markings and store barcodes before you wash it.

[…] which child came up with this idea, but it was a hit. I looked up plans for a marshmallow shooter here and here. I went with the one that was shorter so I could get more shooters for less. This is what […]

Found this via the Money Saving Mom’s website and decided these would be perfect for my husband’s nieces and nephews. Went to the store today and got all the stuff for the 5 we needed for the kids and ended up with enough PVC for 1 extra. When we got home, the hubby put one together and I think he’ll end up keeping the extra one! And I’m sure his (adult) siblings will be wondering where theirs are! Thanks for this AWESOME & affordable gift!

Thanks so much for this idea. It was perfect for the nieces and nephews. Went today to get the materials and then later when we went to walmart I saw they had DIY marshmallow shooter kits for $10. We got enough materials to make 5 for that price. LOL! Good thing we got enough to make a lot because my husband had so much fun “making sure they worked” that he needs his own.
