How to Make Deadpool's Katanas and Harness
The Deadpool katanas are a fun project to make. And in this tutorial I show you how and I give you the template to make it very easy. This also includes the harness so you can carry them on your back just like Deadpool does.
Will has a youtube channel with over 700 videos on projects you can make. Check it out right here

If you make this project email me a picture! I will email you a certificate of contribution from stormthecastle.com You can print it up and hang it on the wall.
Bonus
I thought the dragonslayer would want to have some katanas so I made a set for him. And I included it in the template so you can make a miniature set of deadpool katanas.
Tools and Materials
3 Sheets of foam board or several large sheets of cardboard (20"x30" and 5mm thick) (Elmer's Foam Board)
Hot Glue gun or some kind of glue
Silver and black paint
4 foot length of material for the strap, you can alternately use rope or string. I used thin leather

Let's Get Started!
Print up the template. The first thing we are going to do is make the katanas. Everything for them is on this first page.
Cut out these five pieces.
And tape pieces one through four together to form the sword.
Place that template diagonally onto foamboard and trace around it. Do this twice for one Katana.
And also trace the tsuba (guard) doing it twice.
These four pieces make up one complete katana.
Repeat this whole tracing process on a second sheet of foamboard so you can make your second katana.
This is the exact glue gun I use for this project. It is a high quality professional type. Amazon does have more economical ones right here: Hot Glue Guns on Amazon.com
