Roll up a sheet of paper into a tube with about a 3/4 inch diameter opening and tape the tube to secure it. This will be the barrel of your gun. If you'd prefer a rifle, roll two or three sheets of paper lengthwise and tape them together.

Create a handle with a second piece of rolled paper, cut it down to your preferred length. Tape it to the gun barrel. If you like, use the remaining piece of the paper roll to make a second handle for the front of the gun.

Tips & Warnings
You can use plain white printer paper or, if you want to make your paper gun stand out more, colored copy paper or construction paper.
Personalize the gun or make it look more realistic by using markers to add detail.
