How to Make a Nerf Holster

If you have ever tried to carry two Nerf blasters, you've probably realized it's no easy task. However, holsters make carrying extra blasters a lot more comfortable. This guide will show you how to make a cheap holster out of the box the blaster came in.

    Buy a Nerf blaster. Don't destroy the cardboard box it comes in. This will be the material of your holster.

    The point of a holster is to carry a gun while not impeding your range of motion. Consequently, a holster for the The Judge may not be the easiest to deal with.
    • A good rule of thumb is that the smaller a blaster is, the better a holster would be, and the larger a blaster is, the better a sling would be.

    Disassemble the cardboard packaging by cutting only the tape holding it together. Don't cut the cardboard, because you risk damaging a part you want to use later.

    Put the blaster on the now flattened box, preferably on a section with few folds. This is where your own creativity comes in. Try to make a complete circle of cardboard around the main body of the gun.

    Cut out this section and tape it together with duct tape. Trim it so that the cardboard cylinder covers the blaster, but leaves the grip open.

    Use another cardboard box. Thinner cardboard is better for its foldability, but regular, thicker cardboard should work if you're careful.
  • Question

    Yes, but you will need a LOT of cardboard. You could also create a holster that you can strap to your back.
