Paper clips have a long history... Maybe not. 

Paperclips fascinate me with there simplicity and usefulness. This is a tiny instructable on how to create a quick 2 minute catapult that launches anything from paper wasps to  tiny notes. 

For this project you need these items: 
Paperclips, large
Binder
Hands
Sharpie

That is it! Lets get started
