How to Make a Tiny Mjolnir! (SUPER EASY)

There are 2 things that make me happy instantly.

The first one is Marvel. I am a hardcore Marvel fan and if I overhear the word "Marvel" or anything Marvel-related, I get this big ol' grin on my face.

The other one is tiny things. Tiny houses, tiny boats (see micraman's Instructable), tiny mailboxes, tiny anythings are just so darn cute to me.

Of course, lots of other things make me happy too (ie. animals, my friends, writing short stories), but Marvel and tiny things are my top two.

ANYway, here's the introduction I planned (forgive my random ramblings above, I thought I should add information...nevermind, I'll stop talking now):

So as you probably know, Thor (the mighty God of Thunder) has a hammer. Surprise.

What you also probably know is that only a handful of people are able to lift his hammer. Those who can lift it are deemed "worthy", gaining Thor's powers.

I don't know about you, but I've always-always-always wanted to be worthy. Alas, cruel world, why must you pain me in this way?

But because of my obsession with tiny things, I feel compelled to shrink it (maybe that'll make it easier to lift?).

So for the sake of every Marvel fan out there, I present to you: How to make a tiny Mjolnir, so you can feel worthy too!

You will need:

• Hot glue

• A match (no need to go for the head. The body is what we really need)

• Gray paint (grey? I'm not sure how to type it without offending anyone with my terrible linguistic skills) and brown paint

• A teeny brush (for the paint, what else would it be for?)

• Scissors (you know what those are, right?)

• A pinch of creativity that you pulled out of your sock drawer in desperation, knowing you'd need it for this craft

• And yourself, so you can actually do the craft and not just stand there screaming "ASSEMBLE YOURSELF!" at the poor innocent craft pieces and looking very much like a fool.

"We have a huge problem! Thor needs a new hammer, and somehow he got shrunk too! We're gonna need all hands on deck for this one!"

Not to worry, we have the solution, and NO, it doesn't require killing anyone. Loki, we're looking at you.

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, make sure you've located a place where you can use hot glue without angering the humans that cohabitate with you (Grandma's carpet is probably a bad idea).

1. Brandish your scissors dramatically without poking anyone's eye out (at least, not intentionally).
2. Cut the match into a piece about 2 cm long (see picture). This will be the handle, and it will do great things. (I don't even know what I'm saying at this point. I really need to sleep more.)
3. Plug in your hot glue gun. Make sure it's nice and warm before you try and push any glue out, or you'll get a bad hand cramp. Hmm, I wonder how I know that...
4. Glue all around one end of the match (try to form it into a box shape, or look at the picture for reference.)

*TIP: You can smooth any rough edges with sandpaper. It makes painting easier, but if you want to leave it rough because it looks cooler, go ahead. Live your dreams.*

(Not sure why an Executioner is bringing in paint, but whatever. The show must go on.)

1. Draw your paintbrush from its sheath, and I shall knight you with it. Serve honorably and well. (WHAT. AM. I. SAYING. I'm definitely sleep deprived.)
2. Paint the hammer bit of the hammer grey (or silver, if you like to think that you're a dignified chap).
3. Once that dries, paint the hammer's handle brown. (A nice brown, like chocolate, not like what happens to you after you eat TacoBell.)

Congratulations, you're worthy of lifting the cutest Mjolnir in the world!

I hope you're proud of yourself for achieving greatness today!

Now start experimenting with colours and sizes. Get creative! Go wild! Make crazy designs! (Make sure to post pictures though)

Hope you enjoyed reading this! (and doing the craft, if you actually did it)
