Materials Needed:

Print up the template. There is only one page. This is an easy and fast project!

 

The three pieces of the template

There are only three pieces. Cut them out.

 

Tape those three pieces together to form the sword.

The template

 

Now let's make four of these. Put that template on foamboard and trace around it. (make four)

Trace template onto foam board

 

Trace the details

To do all the ornamentation on the inside parts of the sword this is what you do. You press down firmly tracing all those lines. This causes an indent in the foamboard.

 

Draw the details

Now you can remove the template and see the indents you drew. You can go ahead and draw those out with a pencil.

 

Cut out the details

Now let's cut those four swords out of the foam board. Start by cutting out the leaf patterns and don't forget to do the two little triangles. There is also a hole at the very end of the pommel. Cut that out too.

 

The detail cuts

Ok, this picture shows the cut outs and the sword has been cut out of the foam board sheet.
