How To Make Batarangs And Get One Step Closer to Being Batman

When you see upcycling projects, how often do they involve pallets or tires or water bottles?  Pretty typical, right? And sure, you can make some cool stuff from old pallets and tires. But can you make superhero stuff from them?

Well, to upcycle yourself some authentic-looking Batman batarangs, pallets and tires aren’t going to cut it – but an old saw blade will do nicely. 

What makes Batman such a great superhero? He’s less far-fetched than Superman or Spider-Man.

Just about anyone could be the Caped Crusader with a big enough bank account and a penchant for vigilante justice. If you have a sweet car and a cave full of gadgets and wonderful toys, you’re off to a good start.

Probably the easiest of Batman’s signature toys to make is the batarang.

You’ll need an old circular saw blade, some glue, a template, a jigsaw, a clamp, small and large rounded files, a can of black spray paint, cardboard, and a sanding sponge.Note: These are not actually toys. They can be dangerous. Don’t ever, ever, ever throw them at people or property.

So, start out with an old 10-inch blade from a circular saw or a table saw. 

Then, print off a paper template for your batarang.
