In this part of the tutorial we put the sword together, add the symbols and then create and add the skull mask.

Part 1 of this tutorial is right here

Glue together the first and second assemblies. You can see how the first one fits right into the second one. Trim the slot or the peg as needed for a snug fit.

Then glue the third assembly right on top like this. See how it hides the seam between the first two assemblies. Flip the sword over and glue another third assembly on that side.

There you go. The main parts of the sword are assembled.

Cut out the symbols in the template and lay them onto the sword blade like this.

Use a sharp knife to cut out the symbols. Just cut through the top layer of the foam board paper and some of the foam.

To make the symbols cut away the top layer of paper and some of the foam inside.

Brush some white glue into these letters to strengthen them and make them look crisper.

Now let's do the skull. Cut it away from the template page and glue it down to cereal box cardboard like this. Glue it to the colorful side of the box.

Cut out the skull and then cut out the eyes and the nostrils.

Score the line down the middle of the skull face. We score it with a knife which means we cut it but not all the way through.

Now lets add some cereal box cardboard pieces behind the eyes and the nostrils to give them some depth.

You create this depth effect in the eyes and nostrils by putting a thick bead of hot glue around them and letting it dry.

And then gluing on a piece of cereal box cardboard.

Once you have the eyes and nostrils done go let's make it a bit of a three dimensional shape. Fold the skull face down the center line like this. Just fold it a bit. Then pull those tabs at the top toward each other and glue them one right on top of the other.

Okay! Let's continue with the tutorial
