This is a really nice project where we make a sword that has a great authentic steel look. And the color scheme with red and silver handle is really terrific.

Materials Needed:

• 1 sheet of foamboard (5mm thick) Here it is on Amazon if you want to order it: Elmer's Acid-Free Foam Boards, 20 x 30 Inches, 3/16-Inch Thick, Bright White, 2-Count (902015)
• Hot glue and glue gun
• Several rubber bands
• Straw for the projectile
• Brown paint
• The template (right here)
• Sharp knife - Xacto X3311 N0. 1 Precision Knife With 5 No. 11 Blades

Print out the template and cut out the various pieces. Make two of each of the large handle pieces (A,B,C and D). The smaller ornament pieces simply cut around them. There are two of each of these in the template (1 thru 5)

Tape together parts A, B and C. They make the body of the sword.

Put that piece onto foamboard and trace two of them.

Cut those pieces out.

Using a hobby knife cut a 45 degree bevel all the way around the blade edges of both sword pieces.

The bevels look great.

Okay, Let's continue with the tutorial
