What Darts And Dart Boards Are Best?

!9#: What Darts And Dart Boards Are Best?

What Darts should I buy? What Dart Boards are best? Are tungsten Darts better than brass Darts?

These are questions that we are constantly being asked so to assist all the new Darts Players, I have compiled this information. It is meant to provide you with some basic knowledge and advice and we hope that it serves this purpose.

What Dart Board Should I buy? This is probably the most frequently asked question and certainly one of the easiest to answer. There are basically three types of Dart Boards. The kids dart board that we have all played on at some stage, the sisal bristle Dart Board and the electronic Dart Board.

The kids dart boards are generally made of compressed paper, banded with wire and serve the purpose of entertaining kids for a short while. They have a very short life span and within weeks, look tattered or fall apart.

The Sisal Bristle Dart Boards are more expensive but essential for anybody that intends to play often. The board is manufactured from the leaves of the Sisal Cactus, they are tightly bound and will retain their shape, appearance and functionality for a very long term. The major manufacturer is Nodor and we highly recommend their Nodor Supawire and Nodor Supabull II. Advanced players may consider a Nodor Champions Choice, designed with half size doubles, trebles and a mini bull.

The electronic Dart Boards are very popular in America and England but not as popular in Australia. Many of the boards are virtually kids toys, however there are some good, high quality electronic Boards available. These boards require the use of Soft Tip Darts.

Are Tungsten Darts better than Brass Darts?

There are a number of materials that Darts are manufactured from., the main 3 being Brass, Tungsten and Nickel Silver.

Brass Darts are probably the most common and are relatively inexpensive. Prices vary from a few dollars to around and are the best option when you buy your first set of Darts, or are learning to play Darts. They are an inexpensive way of trying different weights and styles, without investing too much money.

Nickel Silver Darts are basically the same as brass Darts, they around the same price range and are generally marginally higher in quality. Like brass Darts, they are suited for use at home or by the occasional Dart Player.

Tungsten Darts are used by the serious Darts Players. These darts are generally high quality and come in a large variety of weights and styles. The tungsten component is generally describes as being 80%, 85% etc. with the higher tungsten value, being the most expensive. Prices start from as little as and go to upwards of 0, depending upon your needs.

What weight Dart is best?

The weight of your Darts is a personal preference. As a general rule, most people would generally throw a weight of 19-24gms. There are of course people that particularly like a heavy weight, such as the Titan Heaviesand others prefer a light weight such as Featherlites.

New Darters should try a few different weights, focusing on 19-24gms for their first set.

Where do I buy Darts from?

The best place to buy Darts is from a reputable dealer that can provide good quality equipment, good prices and after sales service. We recommend the Dart Shop, Australias best online Darts Retailer.

How to Make 3D Paper Art

!9# How to Make 3D Paper Art

[if ]
[endif]

Have you seen 3d paper art effects on scrapbook pages and wondered how they were achieved? Sometimes it takes very little to add a lot to a page or a card. It can look as though you have spent hours making a special item when in reality, it may only have taken some well placed presses or a little knowledge of how to go about shaping your hand made or store bought embellishments.

Make 3D paper flowers

One of the best tools I know for shaping paper flowers is actually called a flower shaping tool. It looks like a plastic stick that is rounded on both ends. One end is tapered and the other end has a half circle shape that allows you to crease your paper flower art. When you buy a tool, also purchase a soft mat (like a more forgiving mouse pad) to use when shaping your flowers.

If you have some basic paper punches (circles, hearts) you are then in business for making shaped paper flowers. A flower with petals is really made up of repetitive shapes. Punch out several hearts to form the petals, then place your flat piece of heart shaped card stock on the flower shaping mat.

Have you noticed that petals have a slight cup shape towards the centre of the flower? Press on the pointy end of the heart and roll the tool to add a cup like shape.

Have you also noticed that many petals have a little lip on the edge, or a rounded shape? You can create both with a few presses of your tool. Then simply do the same to all of the rest of the petals and assemble your flower, using adhesive to keep the petals in place. Sometimes it helps to punch out a circle to act as a base to adhere the petals to.

Make 3d paper leaves

Need some 3d leaves? Flat leaves can look fine, but adding a 3d element to them makes them look almost real. To make a simple leaf, punch a heart shape and cut it down the centre lengthwise, then finish trimming the shape into a leaf. You will have a rounded end (the stem end) and a pointy end to your leaf.

If you want raggedy edges leaves, tear the edges or cut them with decal edged scissors. If you want a mottled look now is the time to sponge your leaf with ink or splash it with paints or other treatments.

When it is dry, fold the leaf in half lengthwise, then crumple the card stock leaf and flatten it out slightly. Again use your paper shaping tool and pad to form a cup like shape on the rounded end, and maybe curl the tip of the leaf slightly. You can also draw in the veins and stem line of the leaf and/or ink the edges. I like to use gold ink on the edges of many of my leaves. Then make as many leaves as you like and add them to your card or layout.

If you compare these leaves to projects with flat leaves, the difference can be stunning.

Quill it

Another way to add dimension to layouts and cards is the quilling technique. for those who have not tried it, it looks very impressive yet is not very hard to do. Quilled shapes are made with thin strips of paper tightly or loosely coiled around a needle like shape. There are also quilling trays that will help the coils you make to stay a uniform size so you can make exact 'building blocks' for your embellishments.

The end of the strip of paper is either anchored down while the coil is tight or the coil is allowed to relax and the loose end is adhered when it has finished uncoiling. You will get better adhesion if you tear the end of your strip of paper as a torn end adheres more invisibly than a straight cut one. You can buy quilling tools, or just start with a darning needle pushed into a cork and use the cork as a handle while you wrap thin strips of paper around the needle. You can buy special quilling paper packs, though I have heard of people using thin paper put through a shredder for some of their projects. I personally find a shredder makes the paper a little too wide for card embellishments, but you may like that effect, especially on a 12" x 12" scrapbook layout.

Quilled embellishments can be made by repeating certain shapes. For example, the basic coil can make a flower. All you need is a yellow coil for the centre of the bloom, then five coils in another colour for the petals. If you pinch one side of your coil, you will have a leaf shape. If you pinch both sides of a coil, you will have a double pointed shape. There are lots more shapes you could learn to make the embellishments you would like. And you can build all sorts of shapes with quilled components, from animals to buildings to food to just about anything!

Recycle it

Another effective way to add 3d elements to your projects is to add a 3d recycled element to the mix. Has your feather duster lost a feather? Scrap with it! Is there an interesting insert inside a box? See if it is just what you are looking for with a certain layout. Do you have some old packing boxes? Tear one open and see if the corrugated card inside inspires you to make an embellishment from it. There is so much you can add with recycled materials.

Ribbon, material and more

I am sure you know how to use ribbon on a page or card. You adhere it down flat with a piece of double sided tape, right? Yes, that adds a little 3d element, but you can do much more with ribbon. You have probably already tied bows on a card or layout. But have you pleated it, sewn over the pleats, looped or curled it? Have you ruffled it and used the ruffle to wind into a flower shape held together with a button centre? How about tying knots in the end of a bunch of ribbons and then tying the bunch together and adding that to your project?

Ribbons can mimic stems for flowers too. Experiment with ribbon and twine and cord and leather. Try using netting or other pieces of material to add interest. Use a piece of material from a special dress or room furnishing to add value to the subject you are scrapping about. Use it as a background for a photo, or gathered or tied or scrunched - the choices are only limited by your imagination.

Texturise it

Yet another wonderful 3d element can be added with texture paints or gesso (coloured or otherwise). Slather colour on to the object and use various objects to 'work' it such as spatulas, paint brushes, a fork, a toothpick, a cotton bud, the end of a bobby pin. Use anything you think will make an interesting texture. Dab at it with an old hair brush or toothbrush. Embed beads, buttons, sequins or crystals in it. Add little shells. Throw on some glitter. Have fun! You will make something truly original and interesting to add as a background for your projects.

Remember that Cuttlebug or Big Shot machines dry emboss card stock. Make it even more interesting by sanding the ridges of the embossed patterns, or chalking them, or swiping an ink pad over them or painting and removing some of the paint with a tissue before it is completely dry. Crumple up the paper and smooth it out again.

I hope these ideas have inspired you to experiment and move a little (or a lot) outside your comfort zone to add some lovely 3d paper art to your handmade papercrafting repertoire.

Have fun!

If is expressed by the dart, there are many to choose from. Apart from the obvious things, such as spare parts flying and trees, there are many other things you may have. One of the must is a case for all Duel saved for spare parts placed on the Get preferred a hard case, because it keeps the shape of your operations, allowing you to spend time taking the form of flight. Some bags have to insert a hard to get the same effect.

One of the coldThere to have if you are a steel tip dart is the tip of the battery operated sharpener. What grinds your suggestion for you exactly the right angle in seconds. Sure beats the traditional method of rubbing sandpaper on the tip.

Add the gram is an interesting idea. It consists of six brass screw in units, which are screwed into the hole in the shaft of the cane arrow, dart increases the weight of a gram, hence the name. (The wave then the weight of the brass screws), then try the additionalWeight to see if the game is better. The add grams are often part of a tuning kit that not only adds sting extra flights, but a gram of various shapes and waves. You can then try different combinations of weight, flights and shafts, to improve your accuracy. Worth trying, I think.

If you have a soft tip dart tips you're going to save if they need tips to get bent or broken. Halex came with grooved soft spikes to stop the arrow from fallingthe advice, never tried it myself, but maybe worth a try, or just satisfied for the normal turnover straight soft tip.

Darter must have one point each arrow is the tool. This tool is useful, soft tip dart steel finish. It helps you not only replace, soft spikes, but you can use it for the price of metal and trees next to the metal pins that hold the flight, to flatten the cheapest form.

It is necessary to protect a series of flight protectors as they are not only the flightbeing struck by an arrow, retain the correct form of the flight, if installed. These are a must for all objects darter.

Another way to protect your flights, is the "spinner" to use the waves. These waves turn out of the way, if the flight is hit by an arrow, while retired, air protection and minimizing the deviation of the incoming missile.

Soft tip darts steel screws may have to turn it into bits with steel tip darts, so you can use on bristlesTables. You can also find a screw-type hammerhead steel tip, when the screw is deep enough to drive you. This can easily retract retractable steel tips in the barrel, so if you can hit a blade tip edge to withdraw the tip easily absorb the impact, while the forward momentum of the dart arrow in force. Reduce the number of bounce outs you get using a standard point.

We only have a small selection of indoor dart suppliesavailable, there are many others. So if you're stuck for a gift for your friend jumping a lot to choose from.
